I like the concept. Works for all stands and tables, saves money on casters, no complicated mechanisms, easy to use and rugged. Very nice!

[@lwas3141]

I love the giggle when you try it at the end!

[@JustVoss]

Haha 😆

[@mxcollin95]

Awesome little project, great idea and nice welding!!! 👍

[@edwinthomas618]

Great video. I love the TIG footage. It looks like your gloves were bespoked for your hands. The fit looks amazing!

[@messybench]

So simple. Thanks. I retired before smart phones and KZbin. That wireless pedal is so cool.

[@paulspangler2088]

Nice! Definitely going to use this idea to my table.

[@homemadetools]

Nice job. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎

Good video my man! Always enjoy watching you work.

[@JustVoss]

Thanks Clay

[@alsaffarstudios]

Well done, thanks for sharing this with us 🙏🏼

[@JustVoss]

Hey no problem thanks for watching

[@joeolejar]

Really slick!

[@martinsteele345]

Great idea!

[@joell439]

Perfect timing as I’ve been exploring a new way to move some machines in my shop too. Thanks. I’ll need to tweak this concept a little, but this certainly solves my issue. 👍👍😎👍👍

[@JustVoss]

Awesome! An improvement would be if it could stand on its own when not in use.

[@joell439]

@@JustVoss - good tip 👍👍. I can imagine that disappointment once you moved the table for the first time and went “huh, where do I put the handle now 😂”. The one stand I need this for first is a 3-legged 2x72” belt sander. The back two have wheels and I imagined I could just lift up the stationary foot and roll it. Except it turns out to be a little heavier than this old man can move. 😂

[@snoopu2601]

I made my welding table light with wheels, I do have a heavy duty bigger table for heavy pounding work. If I'm just welding the table don't have to be heavy. I'm glass I did make it light because I can move my table out in the sun if I want to work out side on nice days.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Jv nice update to your art weld table. Can't wait to see what u weld up next. Hopefully new videos soon. And NASCAR videos soon?? Turned out very well there. Hopefully it works out lot better for you then before. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work jv. Design on. Fab on. Weld on. Keep making. God bless.

[@gsftom]

Goos idea for making a bench dolly! Nice.

[@ODGColornChrome]

That's a great idea!

[@tommcallister5835]

Good job dude. This is the first video of yours that popped up for me. Great idea 💡!!

Dude, nice work! I´ll do it in my homeshop.. thanks for share! Got a new subscriber! Congrats from countryside of Brazil!

[@outdoorzone]

Nice!! 312 stainless filler…..Have to look into that! Thx man! Looking forward to the next build as always!

[@lated2222]

Great idea and execution. The only thing I think I'd change is to swap the ring and pin so the ring is on the table, and the pin is on the dolly. It seems like it would be easier to grab on to the table that way

[@CaptainCalmer]

Love the idea 🤙

[@RobertBrown-lf8yq]

Hi Justin, Love your work mate 👏👏. You’ve given us a great solution here. I have a very small workshop, so everything that can be made mobile, is mobile. Your idea simplifies the problem of stabilising a mobile cart for use. I have previously put castors on all four legs, then had to fab some stabilisers that slot into the various trolleys. painfully slow to set up 🥺. Your solution is much much better. Regards Robert ( Sydney, Australia)

[@JustVoss]

Agreed, I like everything mobile but then I also hate the 4 casters because everything ALWAYS feels mobile haha.

[@glenpiro313]

Im in. Totally thefting this idea Justin, thankee! Mine of course will be exponentially more bad ass because I of course will radius the two fork legs that the axel and wheels mount in (Im more a motorcycle guy man sorry). This way Ill shave seconds off my lap times because my fork lowers wont be dragging in the ruts and such. My grips of course will be OEM Honda, and……. yup……. safety wired. In all seriousness, awesome idea, I can only hope mine looks as good as yours.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Really cool idea👍 I am starting to research shop stuff and I am going to make this for my work bench. Thanks Justin 😁👍🚜💨🍳

[@JustVoss]

Nice! For feet vs casters this gives the best of both worlds.

[@king0cans]

That welder is definitely sweet. You have done very well Justin. Congratulations

[@JustVoss]

Thanks man

[@dane9175]

It is interesting and fun to build your own tools. I build all my benches with the crossbars on the bottom low enough so I can pick the tables up with my pallet jack. Just another way to do it.😎

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

Hey Dan, I make custom pallets for my heavy stuff like my lathe, surface grinder and turret mill and like you use a pallet jack to shift them around. The extra height of the pallets is a bonus for me as I’m 6’ 6” and I only have to lift them less than an inch so I can move them around on my own with complete safety. I also use a trolley or cart that has a manual hydraulic lift and an old hospital patient lifter to move other things around as well. I have a video about them on my channel. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

[@dane9175]

@@scroungasworkshop4663 Thank you for the info I will look at video up

[@shanebrbich5698]

G’day mate, (I’ll try to keep this brief)! Made a dog kennel about 5 years ago (over engineered it of course)! Heavy as, so I made up a dolly similar (but different).Aluminium , dog leg in design with a skateboard wheel (for manoeuvrability). Works a f*#@ing treat! Workshop is the same! Everything that can have wheels has them ! Anyhoo, great work! 👍🇦🇺

I like that torch head

Cool, thanks

[@jeremyhanna3852]

I built a huge version of this yrs ago to move car body's that are off the frame around my shop works great

[@JustVoss]

Heck yeah!

[@jeremyhanna3852]

I make a lot of my stuff out of recycled shopping carts I go around to the stores and ask the manager if I can have the broken ones I got a 50 x 100 shop I got carts just for grinding stuff or just for cordless tool or just for standard tools or metric tool I mod them as needed and there cheap to free works great for big shop wheels are quality metal is usually sturdy

[@evanfrucht]

Nice work. Just an idea, what if you permanently attached that dolly to the table via some type of hinge, and handle was shorter. It could be made to fold away into the side of the table or cart when not in use.

[@fordfreak300]

You have a stick sort of cap for your acetone, where did you get that?

[@gokhanuluca3628]

good jobs :D

[@ScubaDude68]

Damn but you are steady with that torch man!

[@JustVoss]

Appreciate it

[@ttamn92]

hmmm I've been trying to figure out something I can do to a table I was given and its awesome but it's so freaking heavy...the top is 8'x4'x1" solid steel plate!! yes 1 inch thick solid plate!! lol I'm not sure what it weighs but I know my forklift wasn't happy trying to lift it..so I rented a larger one but I need some way to move it but also have it be solid and I tried the most heavy duty highest weight rated caster from McMaster carr and that was a fail ...any ideas???

[@jeffmartinez9615]

Hi Justin, Where did you get that back cap. I love it.

[@JustVoss]

Done! Thanks for the reminder

[@andrewrenner5809]

Hey man question. I’m just an amateur mig welder, wondering if you bevel any of your material before welding? If no why not? Thanks!

[@EnsVibes]

Will depend on the type of joint and thickness of the material you are going to weld

[@JustVoss]

Most of the time yes, especially for a butt weld. I did a small one on here.

[@victoryfirst2878]

What is the duty cycle of this great welder ??? That tell all, period.

[@dominikd.6601]

Dont know if I heard it correct - you weld normal steel with stainless filler? Sounds interessting never heard before in Germany. Why do you use it? Esthetic reasons?

[@JustVoss]

Yeah mostly looks and it lays down nice. It works really well for joining dissimilar metals like mild to molly or if you’re not quite sure what the two steels are. Obviously if you’re welding something for a job and it calls for a type of filler I wouldn’t use it. But home projects, shop equipment, art.. all day.

[@graemepearce5813]

nice one but personally I would add a 3rd raised wheel that hangs off the handle so when you lift it all 3 wheels are on the ground which will keep it level and stable when wheeling around

[@JustVoss]

Honestly that was my original plan but I didn’t want to spend too much time on it and the wide capture ring makes it really stable when using it. The third wheel would be nice to be able to just let go of it and have it rest in place.

[@das250250]

I would have gone a half inch raise actually .great job.

[@JustVoss]

Yeah, I’d also make it be able to stand or lean on a wall. I might add something to allow that.

[@so-b-itcustoms908]

@@dmp2015 I'll second that

[@niveknospmoht8743]

Having nylon or rubber wheels always on the floor where you are welding or using a cutting torch takes its toll on the wheels over the long haul

[@mikehindley3]

Love your videos mate. Something I've been meaning to ask for a while is you seem to weld REALLY slowly. Like you dab at about half the speed most other people do. Is that deliberate? Do you use less amps on purpose? Is this the way they do it in nascar? Has anyone else ever told you that?

[@dbayboyds409]

I wondered the same

[@JustVoss]

Yes, it’s a bad habit especially if it’s something I’m not used to welding. Causes a large heat signature sometimes. I go through phases so it’s not always.

[@mikehindley3]

@@JustVoss cheers. Yeah it looks like you'd put a lot of heat in. I learned with just a button (no pedal) at college so we always had to zip along lol. Again, thanks for the videos

[@guzziryder6566]

Ok Can you post the drawings cause I would like to do that asa project too but not good with math and computer stuff. cheers

Also could have put the peg on the dolly, and drilled a hole in the crossmember.

[@JustVoss]

Check the links and you can contact a dealer

[@Pterodactyl-kn3ve]

As of April 2022 the 230i is just under $7,000 USD. Beautiful machine. If your job and income relies on a welder, then it’s a business investment.

[@thomasking2081]

SLICK!

[@edstimator1]

it's better if you don't take your rod out of the shielding gas as it brings contaminants into the weld. Not like I'm joe tig welder here...I'm not. but something we both need to work on.

[@ColossalCrib]

You really need to get some more tools. Pillar drill will make life so much easier.

[@brownh2orat211]

Way too complex for something that is not omni-directional, just use rotating castors on a hinged lever. I have my 1800 pound 8x4 welding table set up that way, lift it onto the wheels and can push it any direction by myself, set it back on it's upside down trailer ball feet, adjust for level and done. same setup on my 2000 pound hydraulic finger brake.

[@JustVoss]

I was afraid caster would feel weird. This feels really stable.

[@jeffery19677]

Why use the most expensive welding procedure you have? Mig would have been quicker, cheaper, and just as strong. And stainless is even more expensive. I understand if you were doing this for a paying job, but shop use? I don't get it.

[@JustVoss]

TIG welding isn’t the most expensive procedure and I explained why I was using stainless filler.

[@pocolocoblues]

Went to the fronious site and it tried to force me to accept their cookies. Big turn off brother. Love your videos.

[@IAMJAKETRIMBLE]

Or just put all 4 wheels on something you’re already calling a *CART* ? I just don’t understand. This video should’ve just been called “How to make a low-profile dolly” or “I regret designing my cart this way, so now I have to make a dolly” I like your videos but... why???

[@JustVoss]

“Or just put all 4 wheels on something you’re already calling a cart”… what kind of cart doesn’t have wheels and needs 4 more? Maybe you live in a different geopolitical area and use skies.
