this is more of a conversion than a build. its an old baker's rack i cut down and changed around a little bit. ive added a tray on top and some tabs to hang the cables.

a pic of the manifold for my longevity welder.

Sweet. I really want to try working with aluminum soon.

Looks like its a PITA to change tanks though... Having to unbolt that piece to take a tank off the cart.

i made it like that to hold the tank a little better so i could take it outside to weld/cut. its only 2 bolts and you spin the tank off. how often do you take 2 bolts off you rig to work on something:flipoff2: . it also does not burn through gas all that fast. maybe 1 every 3 or 4 months. its kinda hard to say ths early.

Nice, I like the size of the wheels too. Sure is a big tank. Is it very tippy?

naw, it rolls good. ive even pulled it around outside and it does good. bottle doesn't move so it's not tippsy at all.
