I finally got tired of my converted hand truck as a torch cart. Cheap, commercial torch carts are not designed for common propane bottles. A discussion on cheap, salvage, popcorn cart wheels led to better wheels from Northern Tool and a custom design. Steel was purchased locally, as was chain and S hooks. Square tubing for hammer holders was in stock. All welded construction, no nuts, bolts or screws. Wheels are held on by spring pins and washers, axle is 3/4" round. Steel was $220 with about 1/4 left over, wheels were $70 and have a 300lb capacity each, on ball bearings, using standard 26x2.125 bicycle tires.
Notice the old hand truck that was the former torch cart, and my current wife thought that Torch Trolley sounded better since it was using British Style Pram wheels.
And a new pair of Dickies Overalls for the photo shoot. (Disclaimer, ex-wife works at Dickies and does inside sales, but these came from a discount tool store outside Knoxville, next to the Great Smokey Knife Works.)
