Default Homemade welding cart ideas needed

So I have a MIG with the bottle, a FLUX cored and a plasma cutter. I would like to get all three on a cart that I can move around.

Would would be easier to make as I don't have a ton of metal fab tools. Any ideas would be great. Pictures if you have them.

Thanks in advance,
Dave

The cart i built cant hold three but it can hold two, I want to get a plasma cutter and throw it on the bottom shelf. Check out WeldingWeb.com for welding carts, by the time you go through all the threads your eyes will be sore from all the monitor time

This is my cart I built for my MIG.

Be careful you don't build a monster thats to big to move.
I would put the plasma and gas mig on its own cart , maybe with a small built in welding table. The flux mig I would put on an all terrain cart like the wagon above .




Here's my ghetto fab welding cart / welding table.

Maybe something like that would work for you.

I like that! I agree, I wanted something to work, but no be too big that I could not move it. I like the pneumatic casters as well. I like the tiered cart idea.

I figure flux mig is a go anywhere machine , so it needs a go anywhere cart.
Gas mig needs to be out of the wind and plasma needs to be within range of a compressor hose ,so they belong together.
