Thanks Bernd. I get so much pleasure in making useful tools & shop equipt. from junk I pick up here & there that I can't seem to get back to doing what got me into machining in the 1st place: making model engines! Oh well, this is a hobby after all and as long as I'm having fun & not spending much cash, I figure it must be a good thing.
If you get started building your cart, take some extra time jigging it up before welding. This was my 1st time building a structure that wasn't a rectangle, ie: the 4 legs "splay" out from the top 7 degrees. Man, I had a heckuva time trying to get everything into alignment before tacking. After the main elements were solidly welded, I took it down from the bench & set it on the floor to admire my handiwork. Crapola! The top was twisted c/clockwise about a 1/2" when viewed from the top. I straightened it out a bit but regret not spending more time making good, solid jig braces early on.
