Make a Hand Truck From a Shopping Cart in Minutes

Step 6: Weld the Lattice to the Scoop

I got a sheet of 1/8" steel out of the scrap bin and used a wire brush to clean the rust off it.
I welded the wire lattice bottom platform from the shopping cart to the sheet of steel, forming the scoop of the dolly.

I used my solar welder with spool gun and flux core welding wire. I word my good respirator mask under the welding helmet. I don't want to get manganese poisoning.

You don't have a welder yet?  Make your own stick welder or weld from car batteries.
