took a Napa box and made a combo..weld...grind...ext cord on rear for grinder...just tagged it out of 220 box hard mounted on end for miller to plug in....tool box totally functional...upper lid stays vertical and serves to store stones...tape measures..etc...

my shop just needs to be as clean as Sieg's!!

Thanks Scott - The homemade stuff can be a lot of fun designing and fabbing, and the occasional piece that actually does the job really well is rewarding.

Thanks for the confirmation. My late Grandfather and 86 year old uncle both logged 50 years with the SP. The freight on those things would be cheap and I can't imagine what the cranks weigh! Not sure what I'm going to do with it........yet. If I need a pair I know who to call!
