    I absolutely love videos like this one. Incredibly useful, superb quality and editing, no wasted stories about the beginning of the earth or about my cousin's neighbor's nephew....blah, blah, blah. Straight to the point. Don't even need words or music!! I have the same setup...EXCEPT for the spring loaded bracket. Definitely gonna use this. EXCELLENT!!!! Thanks so much!!!

    Same here. While we're at it, something has to be done for home appliances and work desks with castors. These are made from plastic materials and a guard/coover which trap fibres, swarf and such stuff which cause jamming and destruction. Difficult to replace these.

    Perhaps the simplest cheapest, and easiest solution to retractable wheels I have seen on YT so far, and I've seen dozens of ideas from poorly thought out, to much to overly complicated ideas. The 3" wheels are fairly cheap, you can buy cut offs of the angle iron almost anywhere for less that $10, and the spring and lag bolt are just as cheap. What I love about this style is that they do not cause a tripping hazard. I bought years ago the "Work Bench" wheels that stick out at each corner, but when I laid them out, I realized just how much the stood out from each corner, and never installed them. I still have them and will be putting them up for sale instead of letting them collect more sawdust. Thanks for sharing your idea. My first video of yours and I have subscribed!

    Brilliant! I’ve been wanting something like this for a long while, had thought about commercial solutions, but I didn’t trust their little levers to have enough leverage to lift a heavy bench. They’d also only raise one corner a time. This is a great design, I’m so glad YT finally surfaced it for me! Thanks!!

    Elegant design and beautifully executed. I love it. Putting things on wheels is a constant need for diyers who don’t have limitless space in their garages. I’ve seen many and devised my own ones (never seen anywhere else). This is a good one! One limitation is that this suits only relatively light load. Relevant to this limitation, we should use castor wheels of small radius of swivel, and wide/strong hinges, in this design

    Great simple concept but I had to make an alternate to the spring catch mechanism. The cross member on my bench joining the legs is on the outside of the legs and just above the timbers for the wheels. I added a block to the top timber and when pushed down to raise the bench, the top of the block I added was slightly above the cross member. I drilled a hole through the cross member and the block and then pushed a bolt (as a pin) through to lock the wheels in place. To lower the bench legs I put slight downward pressure on the block and pull the pin out. Works well.

    Good idea. The longer you make the bottom piece, the more leverage will work to your advantage, making it easier to raise back up. The tradeoff, of course, is lifting height. However, as most of us would be using this for heavy items, and as most persons have a smooth shop floor, I'd opt to go as long as possible and still get 0.25 inches of height. Also, the farther you place the locking lever from the fulcrum, the less force there will be upon it. Cheers.

    Wonderful. Might I suggest a slight mod? If you keep the latch angle at 90 degrees it's prone to slippage. Decreasing it slightly and rounding the inner corner makes for a much more positive 'lock' when the catch is closed. I've just completed a small support table for my thicknesser and couldn't be more pleased with it. A big THANK YOU!
