One thing I did on mine was get 2 wheels that swiveled and 2 that didn't. The two that don't, have wheel locks so it won't roll.

Ya mine has a grate across the bottom to hold my gloves and helmets, posts on the sides to hook ground clamps and welding gun.

One thing I've figured out is no matter how big you build it, there's never enough room lol
