Here's our therapy area.
No english wheels or air hammers (YET!) just lots of old "pipe".
Consider this a "before" picture.
The metalshapers shop pics have inspired a make-over, and I'll send the "after" pictures
once we get this place sorted out. Gonna be fun.

Murderer's Row.jpg (24830 bytes)

Here's what we call Murderer's Row.
Buzz box, oxy/act rig, tig, chop saw, weld table, grinders,
drill press....we can make a real mess in this area.
We were tired of the flimsy gas welding cart we were using..
and couldn't find a cart that was sturdy enough to our liking.
So we rounded up a couple of wheel trucks
and welded them together. Used some wheel-barrow wheels, 5/8 cold roll axle.
Some bracing, tube sections to hold filler rod, an old socket-set
tool box for tips, cleaners, etc. and a coat of paint.
Ended up with about a hundred bucks in it, buying the dollys and wheels new.
Yep..it's a bit heavy... but it's not flimsy..LOL!.
I think you could tow this thing.
