No Sir...it was an all metal one. He ended up using the cart itself as a container for dirty polishing/wax rags. We hung it off the ceiling eye bolts/chains/"s" hooks. Every time we see one on the side of the road I mention wanting to pick it up.....the Boss always stops me....
 
I picked up a welder earlier this year. Not a big one, it's small. But I think welding one together with angle iron would be a good project for practice.
 
For a while I used a furniture dolly under my plasma cutter.....Now that I am thinking about my Tig machine is sitting on one....but it is wired into a disconnect box so it can not go all that far away...
 
I want to build one with wheels big enough to roll it around my yard. So I am basically looking for ideas. I googled plans for one but didn't like what I seen.
 
Have you looked at the Miller Site? Pretty sure they had plans for one there, might have to do some digging to find them....

Cliff, a lot of great ideas here. I just had a coupon and bought a cheap HF cart ($37) I was gonna weld all the brackets on it though for practice. Good luck!

Here's what I have for mine, these were retired tool carts from work I cut off the top 2 feet and used the rest.

Yes there is, and it looks like if I look around I can build one for next to nothing.
