Part 2 of My Welding Area Upgrade Is Here!

Well, it is coming together. So not 100% done, but let me kind of talk through my plan here. I ended up finding this toolbox and it had an awesome top on it. And I was like, man, that'd make a great little welding cart because then what I can do is take like clamps, you know, all the fixture stuff that comes with the Harbor Freight mount here, you know, just all kinds of different stuff you can think of for welding. And then what else do I got in here? Here, some clamps. grinder actually on those this is pretty rad i got these i'm going to mount these under this overhang on the back here like here i'm going to take and get those out of the box hang four of those right there easy access i'll be able to gain a drawer back so super pumped about that as well what else do i got here some other take advantage of storage looks like i got some grinding wheels Ooh, I got open drawers. Love that. Way cool. So here's the other part of this. If you hadn't seen a previous video, I've assembled this welding cart. This is from Harbor Freight too. It's called the Vulcan. This thing is badass. I mean, it's a cool cart for all consumables. And then even inside of here, if you hadn't seen that video, the storage, it's got a big drawer for your helmet. If you want, I got a bunch of TIG stuff down there, but the, uh, holds your rod and your bottle. This is a neat setup, but what you notice on the ground is you can see the legs and then the bottom shelf for what comes with this. Welding jig table if you will. Man this is such a great height. I'm already excited that I'm hardly going to be bent over at all. This is a fantastic height but okay what I'm doing with the bottom half why I wanted to take advantage and this is made this way from Harbor Freight. This is meant to be a benchtop if that's what you want. Like I said I just wanted to put these protectors if you will on the feet. I thought it's kind of cool. Seems like it's working out well but I'm going to take The rest of those pieces you can see I already bought big casters because that's what the thread bolt size was on there. I'm going to take those okay and then check this out. I bought just a bunch of flat strap and what I'm going to do is I'm going to turn that into a plasma cutting table. I'm going to take and put a bunch of bars going across that top. I'm just going to actually Actually, I'm going to keep the bottom shelf. Put some mesh or something in there for kind of be like a catch-all if you will and then I'm going to take just some angle iron and make a new top piece and then I'm going to stack a bunch of these bars like this if you will to then make plasma table because I got a new plasma cutter that I got try out from BestArc. So pretty excited to kind of wrap this up. It's been a long time in the coming but that's what the plan is. So I'm going to keep going here in the next video. I'm I'm going to start now that I got. my pieces that's what i was really trying to do i was trying to like get that stuff get this part done so i can jump onto the plasma table and here's something else to you know kind of think about too let's say i want this worktop just a nice steel worktop because that's what i needed i can grab this it's so lightweight and just set it over in the corner and now i get the whole working surface the other thing i think i'm going to be able to do i just don't know that's That's really going to be needed. I could take. And like, Move this to a couple different edges, like let's say like this and this, and then I could use some big, where do I get some bar clamps like this or something, and kind of clamp it down if I wanted it a little more sturdy. But then what I noticed is this, whoever made this tool cart, it already has these threaded bolt holes in here, and so I'm going, I could just take a couple of those, hopefully they line up. If I get two of them that line up. I've got two that line up. Man, if I really wanted to, I could bolt this thing in place if I needed some really ultra, you know, precision to, you know, to not risk, like, bumping it. So, geez, what a find this table was. Pretty cool. All right, my friends, let's call this video a wrap. Like I said, I wanted to try out that software, super rad, from Shaper3D, and then take advantage of getting a project done. So if you want to tune in, make sure and like, share, and subscribe. The next video I expect will probably pop up will be the making of the plasma cutting cart from the remnants. Cool. All right, my friends, as always, like, share, and subscribe. Make it a great day, and keep wrenching. Hey friends, real quick, if you didn't see the related video to this, it's me showing you how I'm learning Shaper 3D, it's an awesome software, it is so mind-blowingly fast how you can create from, where it's intuitive, and it just allows you to bam, bam, bam, and do a lot of, in my world, simple things that I want to 3D print, it just makes it crazy fast, and then the capability to get more complex, and join bodies, and do some really rad stuff in the future, I'm super excited about too, but anyway, I'll have that link below If you're into that kind of thing, it's pretty cool, but I'm going to be making a ton of 3D parts and tools for my shop. So cool. Check it out. I'll have links in the description for you to check out their free trial version. And if you really dig it, purchase the pro one. Special shout out to Shaper3D for making a really cool, useful, and awesome product. Way to go.
