Portable Plasma Cutter Removes Rust, Packs A (Reasonable) Punch

Set up a new #Welding trolley for my #TIG / #PlasmaCutter unit. It's really difficult in Australia to find low-profile welding trolleys that handle a heavy machine (20+KG), AND have a long shelf for the unit itself. That's compounded by a design quirk on mine - the shield gas inlet is dead centre, which means the fittings align with the closest point of the gas bottle. The solution - #DIY standoffs for the bottle's cradle (until I can make something more engineered). Soon, more #Art #Sculpture.
