I have to say I am becoming a huge fan of your work.

[@RathaSochenda]

Appreciate it

[@sparky6959]

Just wanted to say thanks. I changed your plans a little to fit my bottles and it turned out awesome. Wished I could figure out how to attach a pic of my finished job. Love it. Awesome cart.

[@RathaSochenda]

thats amazing. You on instagram? if so post a picture of it and tag @ratha.sochenda, can't wait to see the outcome

[@CrosshairLunchbox]

I think you can also post pics on Etsy if that's where you got the plans. That would probably be helpful, too!

Very cool build, I am about 60% complete with mine. I will send you some pics when I have completed. I am building from your purchased metrics plans, tweeking the measurements here and there. Thanks Fabriano

[@RathaSochenda]

Whoa that’s awesome! 60% done your working fast! 👏 yes please send me some pics via Instagram @rathasochenda or email @ [e-mail] I’d love to see them! Also any feedback to improving the plans would be great.

Thank you Ratha for your amazing design aesthetic, attention to detail and exceptional CAD build plan skills. As a newbie to welding im dead set on building me a amazing well thought out cart thanks to you, have purchased a set of plans and can't wait to get all the materials together to get some more time under the welding hood assembling it all together....

Outstanding work

[@alangliniak9514]

Well done! I'm in the process of laying out the sheet metal side of my garage. To save space I am thinking I'm going to build a welding cart that fits under my fab table for storage.

[@RathaSochenda]

That's a great way to save space! I sometimes have to weld things outside. Therefore having a dedicated mobile cart for my mig welder makes its a little easier for me. Unfortunately I would of like to store it under my welding table but that thing is 4ft x 6ft and weights 1000lbs. It has casters but I can't imagine having to push it out the garage to the driveway every time.

[@alangliniak9514]

Привет. Очень понравилась твоя сварочная тележка. Отличная работа!👍 Я из России, посмотрел твои видеоролики, подписался на твой канал. Но из-за нынешней ситуации из-за санкций я не могу просматривать ссылки в описании под твоими видео. Отличные идеи. Желаю успехов!

[@richardweyland116]

Nice job, really good video - not fond of most of the music. I have had the experience with the front wheels being too small and had to get bigger set. Once you add the weight of the welder, tank and tools, those small front wheels make it difficult if you have to move the cart over rough surfaces.

[@RathaSochenda]

Haven’t had to chance to take it on rough surfaces yet but good to know. So far it rolls smoothly on my garage floor where it will normally see most of its use.

[@richardweyland116]

@@RathaSochenda Yeah, i don't have any problems on my garage floor either but sometimes I have to weld outside and have a gravel driveway. What program did you use for your 3D sketches? You did an excellent job with your planning.

[@RathaSochenda]

I used a CAD program called SolidWorks. Been using it since my early college days.

What is your background? You know your way around cad software too well for a hobbyist. Also your designs are so good! Are you some sort of designer in your profession? I am completely blown away with what you have been able to accomplish as a "beginner" welder!

[@RathaSochenda]

Christopher, by trade I'm a Mechanical Engineer. I got tired of sitting behind the desk just doing CAD design so down the road I picked up learning how to weld to add to the mix and so far I've been loving it! It has open my eyes at opportunities in the fabrication world.

[@ChristopherSalisburySalz]

@@RathaSochenda That makes a lot of sense! That background and education will serve you well as a fabricator!

[@jhardy2659]

Young man this is another nice project. I don't understand why everyone who buys a welder doesn't make their own cart. The only thing I see is that you shouldn't wind your leads that tight. Nice cart.

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks. Good tip I’ll make sure to wind them more loose.

[@mikebowhunter6029]

Great job man!

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks. 🙏🏽

[@joell439]

Great execution. If you don;t mind, I have one quick helpful tip. Try not to wrap the torch cable with tight radius turns. The liner will kink over time as will need to be replaced sooner. Big looping turns is much better. All the best to you...... 👊👊 I just subscribed as your Solidworks skills are amazing. Looking forward to checking out the rest of your content. 👍👍😎👍👍

[@RathaSochenda]

Great tip! Never thought about that. I’ll start make bigger loops for now on. Thanks for subscribing and thanks for watching. 🤙🏾

[@ignacioschork]

Muy buena, yo me hice hace un par de años un carro muy parecido a este, solo que en lugar de un estante tiene 2 cajones enormes de chapa. Lo loco es que tambien lo dibuje en solidworks, obvio que no tan bien como este pero si el esqueleto básico. Excelente. Saludos

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

Cool and straight forward design build. After 3 months is there anything that you would do differently ? Any mods that come to mind. I've just started on a similar build and for one, I'm adding a tray level on top of the welder for a catch all as I work. Like a roof rack for the cart. Thanks for sharing the video !

How much money do you have in the steel for this project? That's the one thing I always find difficult to estimate on these videos. Very new to metal work, so a price list on the stock you used would be extremely helpful. Nice work!

Prolly under $100 I would guess

[@ji4324]

Love it! What are the reasons for the slight incline on the top rack?

The incline makes it more accessible to access the controls and it looks different I guess. My old cart had that incline and I seem to like it
