In this video, I'll show you how I 3D model and build a DIY Welding Cart for my Lincoln 180 Mig Welder in my garage. I'll take you through my DIY process from designing to planning of how I built this custom multipurpose cart from scratch. This is my first cart I've ever built. It has the option to add an additional machine such as tig welder or plasma cutter, or simply use the space for storage.
