Appreciation post: That mobile welding cart I built after a job in Baton Rouge

I was on a boiler repair at a chemical plant in Baton Rouge back in March and kept losing my stinger and chipping hammer in the mud. Built a small welding cart with a metal box underneath to hold rods and tools, and it saved me so much hassle down there. Has anyone else rigged up something like that for field work?

Hell yeah, mud will make you get creative real quick.

Got a jeep stuck so bad once we had to dig a channel to drain the water away first. That mud was like concrete by noon and we were out there with a shovel and a prayer. Ended up using some old fence boards and a come-along to inch it out over the next two hours. Sometimes you just gotta work with what you've got, no matter how dumb it looks.
