Interesting. I know of a welding shop that just burned within the last
week. Actually, the service came through an adjoining building and it
burned, but it got part of the welding building, and equipment, as well.

Just reinforcing what you said. Buildings DO burn. I talked with the
welder and it seems some gages were messed up as well as one tank, and
other things. I think he said the firemen got there just in time to
throw a hose on the tanks and keep them cool-er.

Don't know the cause of the fire, but if the welding shop service was in
conduit it appears to have been plastic and may have just been single
conductors hanging together after entering the building.

P.S. Nice job on the cart. I need to complete one I started a couple
months ago, before I had a welding table ... and let the base twist
slightly because of not having the 1" sq. tubing clamped in place. I'm
putting the tubing on the base as well, and expect to use about 20" (?)
bicycle type hard rubber tires.
