Industrial Cart to become a Coca Cola Bar Cart

We picked up this heavy duty 24 x 36 inch industrial work cart. Our vision is to weld on some risers. Construct a raised steel tube frame. Then top that raised platform with a thick piece of tempered glass to create an outdoor rolling bar cart. Once all the steel fabrication is complete all the metal will be prepped and given a coat of Coca Cola red paint. We already have a fitted plywood top that is red and stenciled with the white Coca Cola lettering. It also has a piece of glass as a protective counter surface. The cart was picked up at an estate sale. We invested $8.00 in a 20 ft piece of 16 gauge square steel tubing 3/4 x 3/4 inch. The tempered glass was a big expense, and way more than the basic cart. The tempered glass is 12 X 44 inches and 1/2 inch thick. We went thicker than needed to get the green coke glass effect when looking at the edge of the glass. An added expense but something we thought was worth the extra cost. This glass since tempered, also takes about 2 weeks to have made and shipped. The glass, tempering, and polished edge cost us $120.00 Follow along as we progress.

The above photo shows squaring up and welding 3/4x3/4 inch risers.

The riser tubing and platform for the glass has been rough welded.

Finish welding complete. Test fitting the glass one more time.

Primer stage completed.

Final fit. Waiting on delivery of a metal Coca Cola street sign that will pretty much cover the front panel. This will be torn down one more time to give everything a coat of UV resistant polyurethane clear gloss.

A view from the opposite side showing the stenciling, stenciled counter top and its glass protective cover, as well as the bar glass on the raised top.

"Coca Cola ICE COLD" street sign came today and installed on the back splash. We are calling this project done!

I am ready for a Coke or Root beer float. What is your favorite?
