    Cast Cart

    I finally upgraded to a bottom pour pot. I asked my buddy at the dump to keep an eye out for a rolling cabinet with locking wheels, I dropped off a 6 pack in appreciation and loaded up this cart. Put a top on it, bolted the furnace down through a cookie sheet to catch any spillage. All the moulds live in Tupperware, commonly used tools in the drawer.

    Roll it out into the carport & plug it in- nice easy and quick set up.

    Well done. I may have to look for one of these myself.

    Wow, great cart! You could mass produce and sell those!

    The top section (now gone) had a CPU built into it, the sliding shelf behind the door had an old laserjet printer- some kind of rolling computer station. No idea what it was used for though.

    Great find. You will run out of table top really fast with ignots and bullets piled around. You could build a fold down wing on each side to assist with that issue.

    For years I've used an industrial kitchen cart in the very manner described. I've bolted hooks to hold an LP bottle on the side and have a burner on the top. Roll it in & out of the shop to use. Very stable and easy to locate wherever I need. Mine, of course, looks like he** compared to the OP's. Very well done. I know you'll like using it.
