Nice one!

Aluminum welding carts are inherently cool, I think..

The curvy lines make it very original looking.

And who doesn't dig aluminum diamond plate!

Thanks aluminum conduit is fairly cheap and not having to paint it is a plus.

[christian]

Yeah,

Aluminum and stainless are cool left unfinished or with a brushed finish, I think.

What'd you use to do the bending, a cheapo hand-foot-conduit bender, or something more advanced?

[Racerrob66]

Just used conduit hand bender i dont have a die that size for my tube bender.

[christian]

OK,

Yeah, a similar radius on all the bends. But I did notice that tube bender in the background too.

So, quick and easy bending probably saved some time, as there were fewer joints to weld.

Smart!

I might have been inclined to put a gusset in the joint at that upright/strut going to the tank... pick a side.

Ya i kicked the idea of another support around but i gave it a good workout and it seem rigid having the brace at the top of the tank helps because you dont have the top heavy weight above the mount creating leverage but if it ever cracks a weld i will definitely be adding another support.

Nice build there, cool design that defiantly stands out. New to welding myself trying to build my first cart and i was wondering if you might have dimensions on that power cool 400 with and without the tank. I don't have 1 yet but i plan on upgrading someday.
