I couldn't. It had to fit between the lathe and a shelving unit, and it's a tight fit already. I think it was luck that it doesn't want to tip over, but I did move the wheels out as far as I could.

@@mkeyser oh okay I understand now

@@rogertaylor8615 I'd love to have a 3 car garage with the chop saw and router built into the bench along the wall, but we live in a condo, and everything is pretty tightly squeezed in. We don't have driveways to store our cars at night, they have to be inside, so I have some space to work with, but it's not a lot. I'd still love to have a bridgeport and a surface grinder, but there's no space.

@@mkeyser that would be very cool to have I only got a 1 stall grauge and it had a sand floor every thing I do is outside so with the weather I don't get to do much

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

Totally fair point. I will keep an eye on the springs and let everyone know when they fail, probably in a decade or so.

Are you pretty happy with it? I like mine but damn it takes up a lot of room! It's kinda weird with these mid sized machines because you got carts for the little ones, and the big ones have wheels, but the mid ones there's like not much variety in cart solutions for them.

It's a tribute to AvE, he is the King! How's your cart coming along by the way?

@@mkeyser I chucked the idea. I took the HF shitty mig welding cart and reconfigured it to work better for the tig machine. I'm getting the HTP water cooler for my invertig so I decided the tool cart works better as a machining cart. It's giving me a place for endmills, collets, chucks and my metrology stuff. Only trouble is, it's on wheels. I'm afraid to think how much money is in that damn cart!

Yea. I love this wire, its great stuff.

Yea I should, but I do have my filler stored with the metal stock in the stock organizer. I have to think about it. If the rod were a foot long it wouldn't be much of an issue with the handle there.

@@mkeyser What about tubes on the back of the box?

@@jagboy69 yea thats a possibility too

I got a spoiler for you, it actually worked out in the end.

@@mkeyser lol.. I see that now.

The trouble is we all need 3 car garages. I'm lucky to have the space I do.

@@mkeyser I agree, a 2 car is almost useless. I look at all the crazy stuff I do and I'm amazed I pull off what I do. I cast bronze, do some blacksmithing work, machining, glass work, welding, auto work, stone work and have scratch built all the cabinetry in my home. I'm sure I'm leaving a few things off, but it's a really tight space.

@@jagboy69 NICE! I'm a glass breaker, I haven't graduated to glassblower yet, maybe someday.

@@mkeyser No blowing yet for me, just some glass casting. I built a glory hole out of a new air tank, lined it with kaowool and covered it with satanite. It uses the same natural gas ribbon burner as my forge. I have a project that needs pressed glass pieces so it's easy to get it soft on a punty in that thing. Bronze is a breeze compared to glass. Glass is a pain in the ass!

You crack me up man! Love it.

15 years of use would be wonderful! I could definitely live with that!

Oh Damn, now I gotta make a King too? uuugggghhhhhhh

THANKS! I really do appreciate that. I'm doing the best I can manage.

@@mkeyser You're welds look good! Practice practice practice. When I bought my HTP, the first thing I did was pick an enormous welding project. By the time I was done, I had a real good grip on tig welding. And a pile of super short tungstens to prove it! :-)

@@mkeyser DAMMIT MAN! This is all YOUR FAULT! I was at my airport the other day and what do I see? A 48" long general tool cabinet our guys were throwing out! The box is in excellent condition, but the bearings shit out of all the tracks. They already replaced half of them and had new ones still in the package for the rest. I remembered your videos and I dragged the box home. I already have an enormous husky toolbox, but since getting into this machining stuff, I've got endmills, cutters and tons of crap all over the place. Then I thought about my shitty HF welding cart holding up my invertig. I think I'm going to fix the rest of the drawers, load them up with all my tooling, strap the 125cf bottle to the side and park my welder on top. It eats up more floor space than I would like, but I really need the drawer space. And all of this is your FAULT! UNSUBBED! just messing with you. I'll stick around. :-P I shouldn't bitch I guess. At least I don't have to fit casters to it and ya can't beat FREE!

@@jagboy69 I'm really not after subscribers, I think its kinda rude to tell people to subscribe. I'm just posting up videos to share, learn from friends, and help folks out. I have yet to put up some videos about power supplies, which I think will be helpful, but I only put up a fraction of what I do because when I do something, I just get it done, rather than record every bit of it. This all kinda transpired out of being underwhelmed by welding carts, and I wanted to learn TIG. I think you'll be happy with your new cart too once it comes together. I know everyone is running out of space, but we always find a way to make space. Can't wait to see your creation!

@@mkeyser I'm with you. I refuse to beg for subs or likes on my channel. Either people watch or they don't. I would never monetize and after reading the recent TOS passed down by these asshats, youtube will be lucky if I don't pull my channel completely and take it to bitchute. I hate commercials. Let them advertise on the big channels and leave me alone. Space is at a premium in my 2 car garage. I do metal casting, some woodworking, metal fabrication, tig welding and now some machining. A surface grinder is next on my list! Where I'm going to stick it, I have no clue! My machining bug started as a freebie also. Someone GAVE me my bridgeport and a buttload of tooling for it! Now I'd never let it go.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll have to check the gas prices, you're probably right, the smaller bottles are not economical. Luckily my shop is up the street, but I'll still look into it.

This is zero budget man, we spend all our money on tooling. ;p

@@mkeyser I know the feeling.... just turn the phone sideways.

@@jagboy69 You sound like you actually like what I'm putting up as content, I was not expecting that! Hahha.

@@mkeyser I'm new to this machining shit. SO I'm still learning. I'll sub, so make some cool shit.

Thanks Man, I appreciate it.
