Dude it's the little things that make the difference. The one handed tig rod concept was genius with just a simple tapped hole and washer. If i had to describe your method in one word, it would be "deliberate". You've motivated me to upgrade my current home-made welding cart. I'll be sure to reference this video!

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks, I know such a simple method can make a big difference.

[@mikelieber5878]

The cart You are modifying is very, very similar to one I built for my Tig/Stick welder. I'm still using it after 20+ years. I liked the mods. Nice Job!

[@RathaSochenda]

That’s awesome so hopefully the one I make should hold up as long.

[@arizadam12]

Excellent! I like the dual tank locking bar/latch setup. And the filler rod organization/storage! Thanks Ratha!

[@RathaSochenda]

Your welcome!

[@williamlanphar630]

Ratha. Nice modifications. Some of the simplest things can make large improvements. I particularly like the addition of the screw and washer to secure the rod tubes as well as the divider. Demon

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks William

[@andyb7754]

Very, very nice rebuild. Love the use of levels, squares and 1-2-3 blocks. Very professional work. Thank you for the video.

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks!

[@Justforfun-ek7et]

Love these little upgrades, I’m using an old toolbox for my cart, it’s in need of some upgrades like this.

[@snowmavid2762]

Very nice video and build! Just got myself the plans and cant wait to build it myself. Also great that you also included a metric version. Ive seen some ppl putting up plans just in imperial for 50$ and after buying the plans i had to convert the measurements myself. Again, cant wait to build the cart myself!

[@RathaSochenda]

🙏🏽

[@RamsesTorresLifevantageIndDist]

Washer and screw, brilliant. 3-d printed divider, awesome. Well done

[@RathaSochenda]

I know right I was looking for a simple but effective solution.

[@davidgladman2089]

I am currently building this cart based off of your blueprints and I'm almost done so happy with the design!

[@RathaSochenda]

That’s Awesome! Are you making it to fit two machines or just one for now?

[@davidgladman2089]

I currently own the miller multimatic 220 which can do tig mig and stick so one machine but two bottles of gas can be attached.

[@RathaSochenda]

Awesome that’s a great machine ! If your IG send me pic when your done with your cart build. Thanks

[@davidgladman2089]

@@RathaSochenda does your bottle holder come out 7" or 7.5" my tank is also a 150 but I want to make sure when I buy my tank of argon that both fit

[@RathaSochenda]

In my area when I swap 150cf tanks they come in both diameters. I designed to fit the the larger 7.5”. This way it makes it interchangeable. But normally tell my welder supply to swap it to the larger tank bc it’s normally what I see stocked and I like to keep it consistent

[@ryanbrown918]

Very nice man. Really digging it. I also "customized" my HF cart to accommodate twin tanks for my multiprocessor machine. Always a fan of personalizing your equipment to make it work 100% for your needs.

[@RathaSochenda]

Thats awesome!

[@dragade101]

Sweet! I like how you locked the tubes from rotating in a round hole.

[@RathaSochenda]

Me too! It got annoying when trying to unscrew the filler rod tube. The simple washer trick to lock the tube from spinning did the job!

[@CatCityDesign]

Dude. I was literally just rewatching your cart build yesterday. About to finally build one from your plans.

[@RathaSochenda]

Perfect timing😁.

[@jerrygoldfuss466]

Very though out, that's a great looking cart! Nice job!

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks

Go Hawks bro! Cheers from Auburn, WA 👊🏼

[@phuwong206]

I really like your videos, in order for me to do what you, first I have to be able to afford a three door garage house. Where I live a house this big would cost about 3 million dollars. So I think it would be cheaper for me to just continue to watch what you do.

[@RathaSochenda]

Dam… where do you live ?

[@endo6306]

Great Plans... I modified the plans to make room for MIG and Flux Core welder and my Plasma cutter. Put the lower two shelves on drawer slides so I can fully pull out my welders to access them. Weight is counter balanced by weight of gas cylinders. Thanks

[@RathaSochenda]

That’s a great idea on the slides. Nice work

Хорошая тележка для сварки 👍 А трубки для хранения сварочных прутков, очень хороши, с отдельными ячейками, у нас таких нет.

[@izbiz671]

Nice one brother!!...I am very novice at this. I can't even weld a straight line. Hopefully I can build a cart that won't fall apart. Thanks for the video.

[@RathaSochenda]

Practice makes progress. You’ll get there with some hood/burn time

[@jialdaco]

Great video Ratha! By chance do you have a garage walk around/build video so we can see your set up/storage solutions also? Keep’em coming! 👌🏾

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks Jairo. A walk around around garage has been suggested many times. So I guess ill have to make a video in the near future.

Rocking the Safety Crocs yeahhhh booooy

[@RathaSochenda]

Croc life yo 😂

[@marcanthony854]

They make 90’s for the gas line o the covers fit better as well as allow closer proximity of objects or bottles near the rear of the welders. FYI

[@marcanthony854]

Nice

[@steelwood74]

You have a MASSIVE shop. NICE JOB BUDDY How much TIG filler wire do you have?

[@RathaSochenda]

Thanks! It’s just the standard 3 car garage size.

[@jakerisner4139]

I know it's probably a personal preference but before you extended the middle shelf I was thinking why not just switch machine locations. The tig would've already fit at the top and the shorter mig machine would've fit on the middle shelf. Either way it made for good content and I love your channel. I think it has the potential to be huge and hopefully bring you some $. I would try to start reminding viewers to like and subscribe to help grow your channel.

[@RathaSochenda]

Yeah I tried that... but you loose access to the door that opens to the mig spool wire as it will hit the frame if its in the middle rack... Reason for me moving the mig machine on the very top rack... Thanks for the tips and for watching🤙

Hi Christoph. I use the Rode Lavalier GO with the Rode Wireless GO plugged up to mic port of my DSLR Camera. Then I edit the audio in post with Audacity. After I dial it all in it has worked out great for the price you pay. Hope that helps!
