Stable shop and field welding cart

A portable welding cart for carrying a welding unit, tools, and an electrical extension cord, comprising:

• a rectangular bottom frame;
• a rectangular bottom platform welded below said bottom frame with said bottom frame extending upward from said bottom platform to create a bottom lip;
• a single piece of metal bent to form a back frame comprising a left back leg having an upper end and a lower end with said lower end welded perpendicularly to the left back corner area of said bottom frame, a right back leg having an upper end and a lower end with said lower end welded perpendicularly to the right back corner area of said bottom frame, and an angled handle disposed between said upper end of said left back leg and said upper end of said right back leg, wherein said angled handle is angled backward from a plane formed by said right back leg and said left back leg, and wherein said handle is configured with two opposing cord hangers disposed on the exterior-facing portion of said handle;
• a top frame comprising two top side frame elements, each having a forward end and a rearward end, and a top back mid-frame element welded between said two top side frame elements at a predetermined distance from said rearward ends of said two top side frame elements, wherein said top frame is narrower than said bottom frame;
• a front frame of a single piece of metal shaped to form a left front frame element continuing to a first rounded corner continuing to a top front frame element continuing to a second rounded corner and continuing to a right front frame element, wherein the bottom of said left back frame element and the bottom of said right back frame element are welded to opposing outer corner areas of said bottom frame;
• a rectangular top platform welded to the bottom of said top frame, to the bottom of said mid-frame element, and to the bottom of the center of said top front frame element, wherein said top frame, said mid-frame element, and said top front frame element extend upward from said top platform to create a top lip;
• two swivel caster-type front wheels operatively attached near opposing front corners of said bottom platform;
• two rear wheels carrying pneumatic tires operatively attached at a back area of said bottom frame;
• a rear-extending lower tank frame formed of a single piece of metal bent to form a first tank frame side, a mid tank frame side, and a second tank frame side, wherein the end of said first tank frame side and the end of said second tank frame side are welded to a rear area of said bottom frame;
• a tank platform welded below said lower tank frame with said lower tank frame extending upward from said bottom platform to form a tank lip, wherein said tank frame and said tank platform are configured to support the bottom of a compressed gas cylinder;
• and
• a rear-extending upper cradle welded to the back portion of said top frame and extending rearward past the plane formed by said left back leg and said right back leg and configured to support a side of said compressed gas cylinder, wherein said cradle comprises two curved cradle sides with a flattened cradle portion disposed between said two curved sides;
• said cradle has a width somewhat wider than the radius of said compressed gas cylinder;
• said cradle is welded to a middle area of said mid-frame element;
• and each of two curved cradle sides are configured with a chain attachment mechanism.
