Paid $20 for this rusted up bench grinder. @evapo_rust to the rescue! I wasn’t looking for a complete restoration, just enough that wouldn’t require a tetanus shot to work with. 😂

After getting some inspiration
After getting some inspiration from @jimbosgarage build, I finished this oxy acetylene cart. Fun project and have me some much needed practice behind the helmet.

Yeah. I think that old oxy acetylene cart was done.
Yeah. I think that old oxy acetylene cart was done. Previous owner must have kept it in his pool. 😂

Picked up this oxy setup off craigslist.
Picked up this oxy setup off craigslist. But the cart is pretty much gone. The wheels are rusted and they don’t move. Had an old 2 wheel hand truck I am converting into a tank cart. Decided to use some flux core wire partly because I knew I was going to burning through some crud and partly because it’s what was in the welder. 😜
I need the practice. And a welding table. Almost caught this one on fire. 😂

The Mule needed some space
The Mule needed some space and organizing the garage needed some custom furniture. Designed this rack in SketchUp and put the @hobartwelders 175 to use.

Now we’re cooking with gas! Well, actually, 175 amps and C25 gas. 😂 Finally got the 220 outlet wired up in the garage.
