    Tig cart for my TA 185

    Saw this design awhile back (I think it was on this board) and thought it would work well and look good for my TA185. So, I dug around in my scrap pile (I've done enough projects and made enough mistakes to have one now ) and sure enough, I had just the right stuff to put together my version of it.

    Thanks to whoever came up with this design originally - It works great!

    That's an awsome looking cart. Nice design.

    PS. Nice two tone color on the tank

    Yup! A little light maybe, but it was all I had in the scrap pile that size.

    Thanks!

    You know, I've always wondered if tanks were color coded or not. I always thought Argon tanks were brown and oxygen tanks were orange. At least they were 35 years ago when the local commercial supplier (Gopher Welding Supply - now owned by PraxAir) delivered then to the place I worked at.

    My argon tank is green, oxy tank is red, acetylene tank is black, I think each company has their own code.

    BTW nice job on the cart.

    My current Ar tank is orange, my last one was blue. My current C25 tank is blue and my last one was green and I think the one before that was silver… I don’t think that the colors mean anything.
