PP256/MIG Welder Cart

First thing I had to do when I got my PP256 was to find a home for it.
It's going to have to share quarters with my old 120V MIG welder. I'm giving the 256 top bunk and the MIG bottom bunk.

Here's what I came up with. Of primary importance was to minimize floor space, so the cart is as narrow as I can make it.
It's not particularly top heavy, and since it lives on a smooth floor and won't be moving around much, it should do fine.

And here's a simple drawing in case anyone's interested in the dimensions:

You've got that cylinder in there providing ballast too. Nice cart. I like the colour scheme! :D

What do you do about the two different shielding gases, MIG vs. TIG?

Quite right. I shoulda' explained. That' Ar/CO2 for the MIG. The TIG uses Ar in a 250 cu ft tank bolted to the wall. Too top heavy, too heavy for this little cart.

Great cart! I also like the drawing, these are always fun projects when it is poor weather outside. Thanks for sharing.
