Cheapest, Smallest, Welder on the market!! Custom welding cart build with the Arccaptain ARC130!!

[@troysgarage]

What the welder giveth, the grinder taketh away! That tiny welder is pretty amazing. Gonna buy one today! I’m a farmer taught stick welder. It’s not supposed to look good, it’s supposed to NOT FALL OFF! 🤷🏼‍♂️🤣

[@troysgarage]

Dave you freakin' NAILED that cart build. It's perfect, 4 pieces of metal fab equipment in a single cart that's smaller than most carts built for a single welder. That's impressive bro!!!

[@madgingercustoms]

Thanks man!!

[@danobrien3109]

Look at you Dave , being all creative. You went and built yourself a “ crash cart “ you a medical miracle lol. Seriously though, what a great simple idea. As always a pleasure, thanks.👍👍🇨🇦

[@madgingercustoms]

Thanks for coming back and watching! And yes, you could crash this thing pretty good and it would hold up.

[@paddlepower888]

Holy blazing sticks! Great project and so much fun to see some cool tools in use. Everything to love about little 4 lb welders.

[@madgingercustoms]

Thanks for checking it out!!

[@MidnightCustoms-C20]

I have the Mig 200. I love the machine. I am also teaching myself how to weld and fabricate in my garage to work on my 71' chevy truck project.

[@hillustration]

Really like that cart a lot. I don't have a way to bend those tubes, but I guess you could use square tube?

Nice Job Dave. Looks good.

[@madgingercustoms]

Thanks! Not bad for a beginner? I should only do TIG next time I think. Regain some viewer confidence!

[@tjs_welding_and_fabrication]

@madgingercustoms I am not a good sticker either but I have been practicing with my Lincoln weldanpower 250g.

[@faroironandcustoms6577]

Dang it, Dave!!! Like I need another welder. LOL. I wanted to build a cart for my Tig and Tig cooler, Small MIG, and Plasma. Something kind of like what you did. I think the new Tig (New to me) is going to be the cart for the Everlast and tig cooler. I kind of want to make some sort of arm to hang the Plasma in the ceiling. I like the metal bender. I don't remember that episode.

[@madgingercustoms]

I built the tubing bender before we did KZbin. Amazon Bender, Woodward fab die, air/hydraulic cylinder from Amazon and I made the cylinder mount out of pipe.

[@randiegadberry5448]

Back in the 70’s I built a 46 Willy’s and installed a blueprint 327 in it. I learned arc welding on it because I couldn’t afford to have someone else do the work.

[@madgingercustoms]

That's the best way to learn. I find I learn better by just getting my hands on there. Thanks for watching!

[@chuckster6513]

Hey Dave, Great job of building that cart as well as the demo with the little 130 welder. If I didn't already have two lincoln headstone welders, I would jump on the offer to buy that dandy little hot box. I still think you are nutz working out in that frozen shop, but thanks for the video. Take Care

[@madgingercustoms]

I honestly don't mind the cold. If I lost some weight it may be an issue then!!

[@garysimonson9593]

your modified/reinforced/made-real brake and bead roller are really.... good.

[@madgingercustoms]

Thanks!

[@joshbagley1959]

I have some automotive welding repairs I need to do to my old Army jeeps. Look like this is a good, low-cost option for someone who hasn't welded in 30 years....Looks like it's retailing now for $140.

[@madgingercustoms]

You may want a small wire feed of you are doing sheet metal. They have those too! A little flux core unit is cheap.

[@BruceLyeg]

Nice job, the cart turned out fantastic. I have a similar version of that welder from another brand and one of the nice things about it is, it'll work with my 4500W cheap Champion generator. I'd be curious to see how small of a generator you could run it off of.

[@madgingercustoms]

Hmmm. Listed max amps is 19.4 total.

[@garysistrunk1700]

Looks good!

[@madgingercustoms]

Thank you!

[@gregcalvert9208]

I liked your video! I do have one question...you said it will weld 3/16" steel, will it be able to handle 1/4" angle iron? Thank you!!

[@madgingercustoms]

I think I mentioned rod diameter. I can look metal thickness and get back to you.

[@gregcalvert9208]

@@madgingercustoms Thank you, I really appreciate it. I was told that this type of welder cannot do 1/4" steel thickness.

I don't need the welder, (you got me to buy a plasma that I am happy with) but I may build a new welder cart as I have the same pos HF one that sucks..

[@madgingercustoms]

The HF ones do the job but my floor is horrible and those don't roll well. Thanks for watching!

[@MegaWildweasel]

yea same here, when I drag it outside to work on things it is shaky to say the least.

[@buckshot8393]

I use an expanded metal garden type wagon with balloon air tires for everything except my torch and bottles rolls great even outside.

[@ardennielsen3761]

will it run off a generator?

[@madgingercustoms]

I can try it if you like. Maxed out it's rated at 19.4 amps at 110v if that helps you.

[@ardennielsen3761]

@@madgingercustoms tho, are their generators cheap as one of those $80 welders? "not including the $50 scraped 8250kw generator i comically strapped to the engine of the car???" i do run 5/32 6010 at 90amp filling/overhead, but that's behind a 8kva wall trickling 2kva. cart becomes a whole vehicle

[@chuckschultz7028]

Reminds me of watching some neighborhood guys build a roll cage out of Buick driveshafts. Welding rods and empty beer cans would come flying out of the windows at reqular intervals. Their biggest concern was whether they would run out of beer before they used up all the welding rods. It does not have to be a "stack of dimes" to be strong. AJ Watson claimed he could tell a fake Indy roadster from an original because the welds were too pretty.

[@madgingercustoms]

Ha! That's my old friends and I in highschool!!!

[@mikemaccracken3112]

A grinder and paint will make a welder what he ain’t 😂. I suck at welding no matter what process I’m using.

Unfortunately it’s coming from Hong Kong and they don’t list the shipping price or give an estimate.

[@madgingercustoms]

It was free shipping.

[@purpguy69]

Is it 110 or 220?

[@madgingercustoms]

110 volt!

[@cedargroveopryalamoga2873]

I’m considering ordering from them but my bank scared me off telling me they can’t secure the transaction since Arc Captain is in a foreign country and once I approve the transaction it’s done and nothing else can be done. So with all that said I’m I going to be screwed ordering directly from them? It’s kinda hard to believe I can get a plasma cutter with free shipping for around $180.00

[@madgingercustoms]

I just got the CUT55 in and I'll compare the 2. Arccaptain is an established business with excellent customer service. I haven't heard of any bank issues.
