Can I keep a MIG welder and gas bottle on the lower shelf while welding?

The MIG welder, fine. The gas bottle, ABSOLUTELY NO WAY!!!

You want some distance between your welding and a gas bottle. If you were to accidentally arc to the weld bottle, it could weaken and rupture the tank, leading to a catastrophic – potentially deadly – situation. Plus, any tank that has had an arc strike can no longer be filled. It’s hundreds of dollars down the drain.
