Homemade Shop On Wheels
 ✖  |
Gene Snellings, Montreal, Mo.: "I made my own shop on wheels, starting with the frame of an old pickup to which I added a tongue made of steel box tubing. I used two sheets of 9-gauge steel to make a 7 by 9-ft. bed, which has toolboxes on both sides - three under the bed and one on top. On front are expanded metal racks.
"The trailer carries a Miller welder, cutting torch, and air compressor which are all bolted onto the bed. It also carries a chop saw, air tools, welding clamps, and other metal working tools such as a vise and grinders. I welded used car wheels onto the trailer that serve as racks to hold hoses and welder cables. I also added a rack that's specially-designed to hold acetylene bottles.
"I use the back side of the trailer as a work bench in the field. The trailer is legal to pull on the highway and has all required lights and license."
