For a cart, I initially used my cheap convertible (4 wheel) hand truck sitting
horizontal. Laid down a plywood deck, and made a ring out of ply wood to hold
the gas bottle and screwed it to the base. Then I used a piece of rope to tie
the neck of the bottle to the handle.
Most people will say to build your own to learn to weld. Good idea. But
if you watch harbor freight they put their MIG welding cart on sale pretty
often. I'm purchased one and am very happy with it. I don't think I could
have built one for as cheap.
