The moment you mentioned building stuff off camera just for the sake of doing it for yourself, my first thought was "that's absolutely fair you can't film everything" and then you go and say you feel guilty about it? Listen here Mr Savage, we all respect you more than you know and want you to do whatever brings you happiness. If you want to build something just for the love of it and not for us, you damn well do it! It's not exactly like you don't spoil us enough with everything you do so please, guilt free, build for yourself.

Nice! Only one thing I'd change. Store your goggles with the front of the lens up, so detritus doesn't fall inside them. The outside is easy to clean, the inside is a pain.

Sharing with a show and tell is great. It has a different type of entertainment. Seeing Adam be excited and proud to show his new toys is nice

By no means should Adam feel bad about not filming some of the builds. We are joyful to get to see some of it. Thank you for sharing any of it Adam and team!

Dam Adam, that's the nicest welding cart for a torch set up, that I ever seen !!! That Cart is OFF the HOOK for sure Dude !

Hey Adam, just wanted to say when you get around to learning torch welding, you're going to love it. Watching that little nugget of a weld puddle form under the soft swishing sounds of the torch flame, coaxing it gently along to form a bead; it is an experience like no other and I would surmise very much up your alley.

Your jovial attitude, especially with your private builds, is that of an excited 4th grader and I absolutely love it

I just bought my house with the wife , I just got a big for me 3 car garage and I have built the last 6 shop upgrades you did it’s a perfect timing . My favorite so far was the ER 32 collet holder . Thank you Adam .

OMG Adam! That Jeweller's torch does almost EXACTLY what my little old 1980s Microflame dual-cylinder kit did♥

Evening Mr.Savage! I miss the ol’ mythbusters days! Always a pleasure to watch either way.

in my opinion, the beauty of being a maker, is the joy of custom modifications within my shop. Things I have fabricated, which streamline my work, and allows me to express my creativity.

My favorite OA eye protection is just the #5 shade glasses. Super comfy and light

Buddy, that looks INFINITELY safer than any solution I have seen. The only drawback is you can't drag it across a gravel lot to get to some broken down equipment. That's the only reason the old cart even exists. It's a somewhat happy medium. But in a shop with a proper floor I would probably require something like your setup.

I know you must know, oh yes please tell me you do, they make smaller tanks ! I'm a fitter from NY. Thanks for all your time and effort, I look forward everyday to see you and what your up to, thank you so much.

I'm very new to welding, so I'll leave comments on that to more experienced people. But as a woodworker, that's a very clever design, and I think you did a great job. And Adam - do your personal projects, and know that we all support you doing some off camera. Enjoy your work on your own terms from time to time! :)

I too absolutely hate the standards tank cart, what you built is actually really really cool. Now I work in more of a industrial commercial setting, think the only thing I would change is maybe some bigger castors for navigating over small debris and uneven ground, but for at home I’d use the same castors you did. Awesome Adam! Love your videos and I grew up watching every single myth busters episode!

Way to go Savage! Time to take that rig over to San Bruno and see what those cart wheels can do!

My first welding project was building a stand for my wood cutting table saw. I used oxygen acetylene and a Smith torch with a 202 203 204 tip for welding. The welds looked great, such a peacefully quiet welding process.

My cutting torch is on the backside of my 4 foot shop fan. A small table top drill press is on top of the same fan. Double duty is great but same thing for 3 items is even better in a small shop.

I made my welding cart from parts of a broken shopping cart back when I was in high school; still works great. I've never used my rig for welding, just brazing and heat treating.

Adam: Watching you do what you do - whatever it is that you are doing - gives me great joy. It reminds me of so many nights watching Mythbusters with my sons. It also reminds me that we are all still curious and questioning and inventive young ones at heart. Thank you.

Everyone: I'm gonna get some welding practice in by fabricating a welding cart! Adam: I'm gonna build a welding cart out of wood!

I really like the cart. I too hate moving mine around like you and this looks like a great build and I would like to build one like it. Great job!

Just finished building my oxy cart, as an IT guy I’m enjoying learning to work with metal.

you need NO excuses, let alone guilt... we are all extremely privelaged for the skills, tips and builds that you do share with us. so thank you Adam, for the knowledge you do share. we get excited either way, to see something you've build that you are proud off. we get all gritty with you. a humble bow to the greatest gadget and prop builder in the world.

That's amazing, good job Adam 👍

i love it when Adam says "S**te" it's a pretty common expletive in the UK and Australia ( which i expect is where Adam picked it up) but it sounds so funny in an American accent 🤣

Love the oxy acetylene cart! My mind is just a spinnin!

Love Oxy welding, made my own cart, very basic, but it worked.

When you mentioned the problems with the traditional welding cart, my first thought was to build a cart that had the tanks one behind the other, just like you made it! Happy days and model on! 😎

Same here in Virginia! The weather is spectacular

Hey Adam. Just wanted to say how much I love the videos you put out. Videos like this give me a lot of great tips for my shop. Plus it’s nice to come home and unwind with your videos. I’d maintenance on the nuclear arsenal so my job has become a bit busy with recent events. (I promise we have no intention of launching them. Just a precaution). It has been so nice to come home and see your videos posted. Your personality and your voice just brings me back to my childhood. I grew up on the myth busters. Other kids watched dexter and SpongeBob while I watched the discovery channel all day. You can say I’m a bit of a nerd. But the mix of the show and this channel spawned my love for building. And maybe shooting guns and making things blow up but hey, how can you not love that. Love your stuff man. Keep up the always great videos and keep inspiring people the way you inspired me

For anyone else in the same boat not wanting ecto welding goggles, Have a look at the RX-17004 "flip up welding safety glasses". Comes in a variety of soldering and welding shades. Especially for using the jewelers torch, since the inner, clear lens can be swapped for prescription lenses ( I did some initial testing, and you SHOULD be able to use an executive bifocal in it, as long as the add isn't too high)

Braising isn't hard just get it clean use a good fluxed rod and have fun! My first braising job was on a radiator for a tractor trailer. I'm proud to say it's still sealed to this day and saved us $1500! If i can, you can!

I think for v2 I would add a gate for the acetylene tank as you did for the oxygen tank, and make the push/pull handle removable. I'd also make the width of the cart such that the gauges are inside the edge, so if the bottom clears it while moving the cart, it's far less likely the gauges/hoses will snag. I like very much how the wheels are done. Lowering the center of gravity like that makes it super stable. As another commenter mentioned, wheel brakes are essential.

So I actually enjoy the abbreviated videos! Quick and easy to enjoy and the pride and joy on your face showing it to us is...amazing! Perhaps you can edit for both?

As an 80’s kid I love the color.

I love the total rethink on the oxy as a front-back setup rather than a side by side apparatus. Of course, in industry the carts usually have large pneumatic tires for the fact that they're often wheeled around in literal dirt and mud, but that fact aside, there's no reason a shop cart can't be on 4 large castors like this. Further, oxy carts often have fork tine slots in the bottom and an engineered lifting point that extends above the cylinders so that they can be lifted via crane. Perhaps not super super useful in a workshop oxy, but mandatory on site in the mines and power plants. This front-back design could easily be tweaked and manufactured with steel and as is obvious, there's a bucket load of real estate either side of the cylinders. One could easily have 2 boxes on one side, to store PPE in one (gloves, jacket, hood) and consumables such as various tip sizes and the few tools required in another box. Then the other side could have a rack to store a few different oxy handsets, a 1.5m straight edge for a cutting guide, and a couple of jigs such as a hole cutting jig. In the industrial sector oxy sets are neglected and abused and only really used for rough cutting a narrow range of steel thickness, predominantly. However, that's not how they're used in a shop and it makes sense to have a cart with virtually all the tools you need for pretty much any oxy task so that you just grab it and go, rather having to rummage through a disorganized toolbox for the specifics of what you need. Hey, with this form factor you could easily put some Milwaukee packout mounts on the things to slap a clear lid parts sorter on one side and a couple stacking boxes on the other. That would definitely appeal to a certain kind of crowd.

Built of wood and Matthias green … Perfect!

No more flammable than all the other flammables in your shop

Love the ad placement I got at 7:13 “Oh!” And then xeometry “need a part?” Haha

Adam , Hi iv watched quite a few of your videos your man cave, WOW man have you gathered some really nice tools, lathe, Milling machine assoatied tooling, sockets, screwdrivers pliers, grips, i could go on an on, The BUT here is you have to stop gathering, and at some point have a clear out otherwise you will end up in the SAME position as i now find myself in, i am a tool aholic and a prolific purchaser of more tools from ebay. I have a large shed workshop in my back garden and a covered area in front of the double doors to this shed, it takes me 35 mins to clear stuff out of the way so I can get access into my shed, all because of the stuff i have gathered over the years. I recall the video of you having to shift tons of stuff to get your old mill out and your New mill in, do you see where I am heading with this first comment from me to you, I think your more than capable of doing, making, building anything that comes along, please don't hem yourself in to the point where you can't freely move about your workshop. I have a lovely big old lathe I can't get near because of all the stuff I've been gathering over several years. So my plan this yr is to de clutter and get my life back Stan in Scotland.

you are so much of a maker, i'm waiting to see when you discover the art of Black Smithing. till then keep having fun!

Brilliant job and much needed! It’s a mystery why no one has come up with an alternative to the old carts gobent they are everywhere. Your goggles may not be the best choice; u want a full face mask that has light sensors and protects you from the fumes when u weld

Boy I want to show this to my boss. Our cart is falling apart, and I think we would benefit from a new one inspired by this! I think wood isn't a problem since you're aware of what you're doing around it.

here in the UK you can get 1/2 size gas bottles , very handy for a small workshop , or when you only need oxy to burn off bolts

Straight savage.

I like to use a tinted face shield instead of glasses or goggles. You can get the one that attaches to a head harness, but the ones I used slipped onto your hard hat. It was very convenient if you had a lot of burning to do and it also protects you from pops, slag, and any other kind of flying debris. If you're wearing safety glasses then you have double protection. You should look into getting some burn sleeves and gloves if you don't already have them. Its not really necessary if you're just applying heat, but if you're actually cutting then sleeves and gloves are mandatory in my opinion. I used to do a lot of cutting around concrete and it explodes if you apply enough heat to it. Sometimes there was no way to make a cut without heating the concrete around it so exploding bits of concrete was a given. That's why I liked the tinted face shield.

Instead of goggles I went with a clear faceshield with a flip down welding lens. The welding lens is blue rather than green (they call it "cobalt") and it works really well for me for making the flame and weld puddle stand out. The face shield means you get decent protection if you're grinding/cutting as part of your welding process. After a quick search, it looks like it's a Sellstrom S32161B.

Before I could blink the sleep from my eyes I thought this was a custom wedding cart. ...I don't know what a wedding cart would be, but if it had to be built Adam could build it...

More details on the jewelers torch set please!

My first useful oxy acetylene weld was to repair a broken steel car ignition key. I used the smallest regular torch I had. It held together for many years until I sold the car

Always move these with the caps on" preach that welding edicate my good sir.

Surprisingly the cart looks only a little less wide. The cart does not need to tilt to move makes it better to manoeuvre. I realise this from my suitcase. I love this video and I never welded myself.

Love it! Would have bben cool to see it painted and weathered to match the bottles

Good work

Thats a good idea for a cart. 👍

The only issue I see is if you end up exchanging for a tank that's too large in diameter for your cart. I also built a wooded welding cart and I sized it for the bottle I had, assuming they were a standard size. When I exchanged it for a full bottle, I found the new bottle was larger and didn't quite fit. Luckily my bottle is secured with a strap, so it's not a huge deal, it's still secure.

Now that's a good Color!

I was the 420 like for this video. To celebrate that I should have a brownie. Thanks for your content.

The bigger issue I have with a wooden welding cart -- not using the welder to manipulate the metal to MAKE the cart used to move said welder around the shop.

I love it.

nothing more impressive than an bottle going though a brickwall, a roof and then returning the same way to leave an crater in concrete

Hello!!!!! Adam from Argentina !!!!

The only fault with the cart is that it can self travel if bumped, earthquake, pulled on hose while welding. I would definitely make sure the wheels are lockable. Other then that, you should patent the idea!

Way to go Adam, that design is Great!, needs to be mass produced in aluminum

I think you would like my OXY Acetalene cart. It's still wide but it has 2 large 24" wheels, and leans back at an angle with a specially designed extra set of wheels that allow it to be rolled around in a stable angled configuration.

My unnecessary .02 would be a hook to hang a striker that has a Carabiner clip for your belt loop when using the torch setup

I'd love a video on glasses friendly goggles of various sorts and any lefty tools you may know of

Adam you’ve probably seen them but they make caps that are on pins you leave them on the tank all the time pull a pin the lid slides up and open instal you gauges it slides over the fitting that screws into the value from gauges re pin it and your good to go can’t brake the main valve off

I don't know if it's any good if I watch your videos 🤣 I'm just like you in a way... I love perfecting my workshop and tools that I spend too much time on perfecting than actually working. Anyways... I'll keep watching 😄 👏

The first way I learned to weld was with oxy- acetylene. if your parts are tight, you don't even need filler metal.

the casters are a great idea

Check out the hvac/r mini torches game changer in that field

i miss my trips to SF. :)

I love it

I was actually in California for 24 hours and that happened to be the day I was there, it was a very perfect day for weather

i love it so cool and pratical

i have seen ppl take a spare screw on cap for those tanks and weld a loop on to them, then screw that on the tank and use it with a shop crane to swap out there tanks and move them in to a truck to take them to get refilled

Didn’t try is video come out about a week ago. I remember watching it.

It's pretty here in Wisconsin but no surprise it's very cold lol

That is a good looking cart. A little lift kit and big pneumatic tires it would be fit for farm shop duties because we often have to weld out of the shop because things are already in the shop and priorities being what they are lol.

The best welding goggles aren't goggles at all. They are a shade 5 face shield (from Fibremetal, in particular). That cart has some nice aspects to it, but I see one issue that I worry about. That is that the casters are small and hard. They will have trouble with a finishing nail lying on the floor. The big wheels on the old cart are much more capable of dealing with that particular issue.

Nice cart.♐👌

Love the ideas but one quick question-- if I can’t use my pick up or car to haul my tanks HTF am I supposed to do it?

sweet! it is clearly easier to get it around.

I hauled a 330 home today in the Malibu 😂 Gotta do what you gotta do.

Maybe add a little co2 fire extinguisher? Seems like an easy way to make sure the wood is never a problem

Jeweler's Torch ??? Yes yes yes...needed one a million times, never heard them before. (But I've only used my torches for brazing etc for 50 years.)

A little surprised adam didn't just get smaller bottles. There is a few smaller sizes, commonly used by plumbers hvac guys etc.

While watching jewelry-making, I saw a weird torch-head. Just like yours, but without oxy in a bottle. the jewler supplied the oxygen by blowing into a hose. With that he could regulate the heat very finely. I had never seen that. Does anyone know, if this is standard-equipment?

Those goggles would make a nice base for a new version of ecto goggles :D

But its green!! Thanks for sharing

I don't have a problem with it, it's your shop. It likely meets your current need. I will say a few things though that seem odd. You build a cart for a welding rig out of wood. If you can't weld why do you need a welding rig? (yea I know you also use it to heat stuff up, but you do say you plan to learn to weld), missed or postpones opportunity? BTW the design of the cart looks really solid at a glance. You said you want to be able to work on cars in a shop someday. That could require welding, depending on that specific project. As a maker the lack of welding skill seems like an obvious fundamental gap, especially with the focus on machining lately. This would seem like a whole area for you to dive into to expand your skill set and tool box. It would likely put additional strain on space, and to some degree budget. That said, I realize metal work in general is a pretty deep and broad rabbit hold to venture down when you already have a solid base for the project you focus on, so you'd likely need some real reasons to add it. I'm pretty sure the full face shield does more than protect your eyes, as molten metal can hit your face. It can also hit the rest of you too. Dress for success (and safety). The combination of metal, wood, and other materials in the implementation of a design is very powerful. I expect the road to being a metal worker would provide for good content for the channel. In any event. The content has been really good lately.

Are you able to get them filled every time? I made nice mounts on my welding trailer to cinch them down, only to find that my LWS's only want to swap cylinders (which vary in size for the same capacity for some reason).

You can grab a smaller portable handheld set of tanks for your jewelers torch.

That's a fantastic cart, but you know you don't need to get full size tanks. They do come in different sizes. Oxy propane is another option for gobs of heat!

Given your small enclosed workspace, I'm surprised you didn't include a fire extinguisher?

Would love to come do welding science stuff with you anytime!
