Anyone know of a good choice and source for a "cheap pan" as mentioned by Bill C.?

For my Atlas 618, welded up a bench/dolly frame from angle, on 3" casters, with 24" x 48" x 2.25" (3 x 3/4", 7-ply radiata pine) plywood slab top. Tool drawers not made yet. It ain't elegant or fancy, except to the extent that it was cheap, easy and works great. Could post details and pictures to new thread if any interest, then update when I can finish it in the spring.
