Don’t be, I don’t really have room for it and will have to move a car to the street to weld in the garage. Luckily one of my projects found a new home, and I’ll have a little more room when it’s finally gone next month.Dirtytires wrote: ↑May 27th, 2021, 12:20 pmLove new toys....but they always come with a few days of downtime. Besides finding it a new home, new tools always need electric outlets put in, shelves/racks built to organize accessories and a few modifications made to get it set up perfectly. Don't even count the time it takes to re-make or adjust all your jigs that were designed for the old tool, lol.
Still jealous!
Kind of, technically just finishing it, but will be the first thing I actually welded on that I get to use beside test scrap. I took the easy way out and bought a cheap cart from HF, but I do want to build a cart.

Since you have sliding racks, are you going to add handles for pulling and tabs so they don't tip down when you pull them out? Pretty easy to add and very useful IMO.
Thank you, that’s what I was going forDirtytires wrote: ↑July 12th, 2021, 10:46 amI like that design of rack---with the flat of the angle iron on top and the expanded metal underneath. Gives it a nice "finished" look.
Ask and you shall receive, just have to cut some expanded metal to fit over the 1/2” bars. It’s just going to lay on top so it’s easy to replace. The 1/2” bars are recessed double the thickness of the expanded metal.
