A Frame With Casters On Each Corner Carries Welder
Kenneth Crumpton, 161 Tidwell Rd, Winfield, Ala. 35594: "My father, two brothers and myself are always building something in our farm shop.
  "The biggest problem we faced was that we never had enough room. So, when the welder wasn't used, we would carry it to the corner of the shop and clear up its space for something else.
  "The welder is heavy and took two of us to move it. If I was alone, I would strain and grunt until I had moved the welder.
  "We also had to move the welder around the project as well.
  "I came up with the idea of building a frame with casters on each corner. After searching in the shop, I found a lawn mower frame. The engine was bad so I removed it and set the welder on top of the mower's base. I attached two 1 by 4-in. boards to the welder, then bolted it to the mower frame.
  "Now, we can carry our welder anywhere in the shop or around the shop with ease."
