Are there any old brake discs left? Don't push to throw it away, see what you can do! And also I ask you to evaluate the idea and was there any point in bothering so much?

[@matthewjohnston1400]

Sorry for the bothering.

[@RyanBischoffPercussion]

Every one of our vehicles we build everyday at my plant have them…

[@greg-snapr4136]

Why reverse the polarities on the welder leads?? Just curious...

[@criticalevent]

I can never throw these away, there's always something you can do with a heavy piece of iron.

[@Auggies1956]

Nice work! What did you use to remove the rust?

[@CoCoSWISS1]

I love it! What makes it great is that it is totally unique, you built it by hand and it makes great use of an old rotor. A waste of time to some, sure. There are many things they don't understand. But whether you keep it for yourself or sell it or give it as a gift, it has 10 times the value of a store-bought unit. I also loved the pace and quality of the video. Great work! Inspiring!

[@WendellJenkins-s3j]

You build it, utilize it and see how rewarding building DIY home projects like this and feel good about it inside. All it starts with is a creative imagination and work skills.

Nice cart. Love the design too! Can’t stress how much repurposing old steel is important.

My kid just starting welding school so now I know our first garage project together, thank you!

[@artszabo1015]

This is not a contest of the world's greatest welding cart. Nor does it mean this guy couldn't afford to just buy one. He looked at the brake rotor and saw the perfect base for his gas bottle and the rest of it evolved from there. I love the style and design like the angled supports. It is an exercise in creativity that 'oatmeal' brains can't see. Five stars for you Sir, while I stand up and applaud you. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Art from Ohio

To look at an old junk brake drum and imagine a useful tool and create it is a thing of beauty. Well done! This is true recycling.

[@Scot-p1v]

Well done! I miss weekends and evenings in the garage organizing, making parts shelves, just generally faffing about. About age 10, my nephew welded a toilet paper stand for the garage bathroom using a rotor base and pencil steel. He graduated college a few years back, and we are still using that stand

"What an ingenious way to repurpose an old brake disc! This is creativity at its finest."

[@HomerBBCharlesCirilo]

Admittedly, I wondered why the brake disc as opposed to a simple axle. As the project progressed and the welding cart revealed itself as opposed to a trash can cart I was able to see the unique genius of it. You did an awesome job with found material. I approve 100%.

[@christjanehusacek4911]

Das nennt man upcycling, eine gute Idee. Mehr davon.

[@richardcornelius1050]

This is Called “Re-Purposing” Recycling is taking that old rotor and Melting it down into a pot of Cast Iron and re-pouring that Iron into New Rotor molds or some other form like A Cast Iron Skillet or Griddle or a New Engine Block …..

[@jjwalter5897]

It's not the cart. Nice cart. It's the brake disk inclusion and the misleading that it had some integral part in this design.

Well it was integral. It gave him a perfectly formed depression for his tank to sit in. Of course, you couldn't do that without the right sized brake disk! 😂

Nice build I made my little welding cart from an old hand truck that was not being used anymore. I extended the bottom plate and put my small torch setup down there then made a shelf about 3/4 of the way up from the bottom for my flux core welder to set on.

[@GriffonHouse2024]

Genius use of scrap materials, solid build and it looks good too!

[@Mike-kr9ys]

Neat little cart! Well done. Thanks for sharing this project.

[@BuilderofRat]

My welding cart started its life as a 2 drawer filing cabinet. Installed a plywood base and made room for my Argon bottle. Installed large 4 inch casters from Harbor Freight. Added places for the welding cable storage, and now I have 2 drawers. One for my aluminum spool gun, and another for my extra spool of 0.030 welding wire. I bought the filling cabinet from a thrift store for $10. I use it all of the time. My welding cables on one side, and my 30' power cable on the other.

[@joepacheco7365]

awsum

[@kw57rx8dr.9]

That's a great idea and I just passed two smaller file cabinets on the side of the road the other day waiting for the trash man, I usually pick up such things because I always have use for them but one I was in my work truck that was kind of full and two I have no more room at my house but for this I would have made the effort, I may try and go back by now to see if they're still there? Even though I have a welders cart already, that might be a better one with the drawers etc..

[@BuilderofRat]

@@kw57rx8dr.9 You will like it, trust me. The stuff that you buy is, most of the time anyway, sort of useful. I usually end up modifying it anyway. I like to build things, but that is just me. I am also cheap. Even saying that, the stuff that I build is far stronger than anything that you can buy. At least that is my experience. My Woman calls me the heavy duty guy. She likes light and flimsy. LOL I needed some kitchen scissors the other day, and you should see what I bought. They work very well. She even admitted that they were much better than the cheap ones that she had.

[@eugenejulson8742]

Weird I turned my heavy file cabinet into a toolbox.

[@BuilderofRat]

@@eugenejulson8742 I have 3 heavy duty filling cabinets. The 2 that are upstairs in my shop just hold some of my old year books, and some of my old files. I go up there and look for forgotten information. My memory is not what it use to be, but I remember where the information is. The other one is in my 36 by 36 shop, and one drawer holds my special tools, and two drawers hold all of my shop manuals for my vehicles, and toys. They last drawer holds miscellaneous stuff that a mechanic collects over the years. Sometimes if I can't find something, which happens a lot now days, I will check that misc drawer. Sometimes what I was searching is in that drawer, sometimes it is not. I had a dirt bike up until 2 months ago when I sold it. I had an extra rear sprocket that I was going to give the new owner, and I could not find it. I know that I will find where I put it some day, but that day has not showed up yet. It is soooooooo frustrating!!!!!! I am 77 years old, and my memory is not what it use to be. At least I know where home is. A couple months ago the Police found and elderly woman wandering around. She did not know where her house was. No I D no clues. They drove her around until she finely found her house. I hope that I do not ever get as bad as that poor woman.

[@creates_diy]

Hello, an interesting solution and quite practical! Well done

[@Majorkooldad]

Well made, well documented, fully practical. I know it probably takes twice as long video and editing but I've spent much more time looking for all the tools you have on one safe cart. I'm a messy project manager so my time is spent looking for tools rather than actually using them. I'm inspired to organize so I can enjoy repairs, projects etc. Thanks Vanya for the inspiration.

[@sombra6153]

While watching this, the thing that struck me was the center hole of some might be about the same size as an Olympic barbell. While they might not be as “efficient” as a good set of iron weights today, several brake discs on a bar might be a cost effective way to pump iron without incurring the post COVID cost of weight sets.

[@krystoft4725]

Way to go! Great job. Way to make use of old stuff rather than just tossing it into recycling. Kudos!

[@rossk4864]

The brake disc might seem an almost inconsequential part of the construction, yet it almost perfectly supports the gas cylinder and a welding cart utilizing a recycled brake disc is just plain cool!!

[@totalchoaspunk1757]

well brake drum would be lighter and deeper ... did that 30 years ago.. just bolted to the bottom of torch cart..

[@rogerwatson5730]

I agree wholeheartedly I’ve been involved in welding/fabricating projects since 1965 I’m retired with a complete welding fabrication facility at my home. However I’m completely eat up with woodworking. Pretty much every machine needed to design/build using wood. The local lumberyard here pretty much always have bundles of various sizes and lengths of building materials with an invoice attached with retail price and cost which is 1/2 price. I merely run each board through the jointer and planer allows me to build any and everything

[@MyNameIsAndrewLuce]

When I first saw the thumbnail, I got "5-minute Craft" silliness vibes! But dang! This is awesome!!! Like other commenters, I love the idea of not throwing away the old rotor. Nice bit of recycling/reusing here.

[@fredeerickbays]

nice if u have nothing but smooth surfaces. Get as much as a 1/8th inch pebble and those little front wheels stop. Now me I am a framer. My shop has that flatness but when a break something that I now cant move the shop has to come to it. For this I have a little trailer I put behind my BX23S. It has on it everything I might need for the job b/c i load it for the job. Welder being heavy sets on back while two 100Ah 48V batteries set in front. The rest goes between. It is only 3 ft wide and 4 ft lang with 18in sides. The tires make it another 24 inches wide. 22" turf tiers so that if the little Kubota can make it the little thing is not going to hold it back. But yes the next time I have an hr or 2 I will build me one of those. It may not be till Feb as winter is when we farmers do such things to keep our 15 hr days going.
