and now a pic with it pretty much finished


it has a slight rake the front is 26 inches tall the rear is 24. that way i can see it easier when standing up and in use. so it is basically done i just need to get some accessory figured out. like wire spools to wrap the gun and clamp around and plier holder and what not. i hoped this helped some see how easy it is to make some basic stuff and that if i can do it any body can do it.

It was to top heavy so I droped it 10 inches and that brought the overal height to just about 2 foot tall. Much more stable.

Well the orange/pinkish tires match the color scheme of the front of the welder anyway. Looks good!
