Ok so my dad picked up a craftsman tool box at an auction tonight for me it's like a 5 drawer model (not exactly sure will post pics tomorrow) and it's a bit to large to be carying to the carport ever time I work on the car.
So my plan is to make a rolling tool cart for it. Only a few issues though I have no welder and I'm not sure whether to make it out of metal of wood.
I'm leaning towards metal for the frame. I'd use like 1.5" angle iron make a recangular base held together with bolts. Then Uprights at each corner and a top part made the same as the base. Then I'd use some of the plywood I have left from another project as the filling piece to hold the box and other things.
To roll I'd get some caster. Question is Inflatable or solid rubber?
Here's the requirements for it... Needs to be high enough to work next to a vehicle, be solid enough to hold most of the tools and the box without tipping over, and what I think'll be the hardest is be maneuverable enough to roll through the front door and down the hall to my room when finished as I'm not leaving my tools on the carport.
Hope ya'll followed all this. I guess I'm really just looking for feed back on what I have so far. And also I'd love to see what others are using so post up pics of your carts.
Thanks in advance.
