Handle for my cracker box welder

I have an old Lincoln 225 cracker box that is sometimes handy to have around but has always been a pain to move around it used to have tiny little 4" wheels that were impossible to roll on anything other than a concrete floor and it stands less than 2 ft high so again hard to bend over and use the built in handle to move it. I finally got tired of this the other day and installed a pair of 10" x2" lawnmower wheels and welded a handle on it that I had left over from the days that I used to make 2 wheeled hand trucks now it is easy to move around and I have a place to coil the leads

When I get the time I will treat it and paint it but for now it is what it is

I had an oxy/acet cart that looked much like that and it worked great for me.

I remember my first Lincoln buzz box...

Back in the early 90's we must have made a 1000 of those frames for various things we made hand trucks out of them and shorter versions became stocking carts for grocery stores actually we made over 1000 stocking carts

"Ditto"

Oh by the way Crusty.....I like your statement as well "If you can't make it precise make it adjustable."

I wish I could claim it but it's from another guy who built the best 72" belt sander that I've ever seen. I think that it's just about the greatest principle that a home builder can embrace because we're almost always having to make do instead of using the most appropriate things in our builds, and a whole range of inaccuracies can be compensated for into something workable if we have the ability to adjust things so that they work as intended.

Didn't the Red Green show use that line?

Naw that was "If she don't find you handsome, let her find you handy".
