One of the first job to do, is to create a mobile arc welding station, which we have been meaning to build for several years now. The reason that it has come around now, is because we will need to weld on extra pieces of steel tabs right up inside our Skylight section and it would be far more convenance if the equipment was reasonably mobile. So, we went about designing and creating a medium size box like structure, with four drawers in total. Three smaller ones and one larger one. We had a pair of solid rubber tyre 6inch plastic wheels and we found some 12mm steel rod for the axle. The argon gas cannister is positioned at the back of the station, held in place with a Velcro strap, the welding machine was situated on top of the box, and clipped down to anchor it down. We used double extension drawer ball-bearing runners for all four drawers.
