I want to do this in my garage too so it’s easy to clean

This is great! I did this in my garage. It was such a relief

Same saw as you and mine is on wheels as the base contains my Record extraction unit. My workshop is only 12x8, so space is a real issue. 8x4 boards are normally cut outside. After watching this there are other things I should think about putting wheels on, so thanks for the really useful tip. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

oh my gosh thanks!.....you just made a project so much easier for me with the idea of putting the wheels on a board then setting the item on the board!! lol...so much easier since I'm working with small space! :-) and of course I wonder why I didnt think of that...lol Thanks,Great video!

I'm so going to put wheels on everything! I'll start with my bin this is gonna be so much fun 😂 thanks Andy!

A bin on wheels is so handy! 👍😀

Ive been slowly adding wheels to everything. I built my miter saw table with an old rolling gas grill. At work (piano restoration) we have a huge woodshop with nearly everything on wheels (and if it's not it's on risers for the forklift). We've broken some wheels with heavy loads too... It's definitely worth it to get the expensive ones.

Thanks for the video. I can confirm that the retractable casters work really well on machines. I have them on my bandsaw, shopsmith and my planer.

Found you today and am slowly working through your videos. Kinda feel like the bins should be "Bonnie" and "Burnie" for your good and crap wood! Have been slowly setting up my single garage workshop over the last six months, and yep, wheels everywhere. Makes it way easier to deal with long boards in a small space.

What a superb piece of advice this has proved: castors on the Sjobergs bench; on the MFT; on the sheet goods trolley; on the off cuts cart. Thank you Andy!

And, come to think of it, castors on the Rutlands router table too. But not the table saw ….

All very valid points! Great tips too. I will have a good day, although framing my workshop by hand today, luckily it’s nice! Anyway my little Bosch jobsite tablesaw is on a stand I made for it with wheels. I made sure to buy double locking castors that inhibit them from moving and rotating. I do agree though if in any doubt that the saw may move. Plant it firmly in the ground!

Yes, double locking castors make a huge difference - all my ones with brakes are double locking and they're great. 👍

Good tip. Most of my stuff is on wheels too and at a height where they can slide under my work areas. Using vertical space for storage also is a good thing to do. Freeing up horizontal space is a must in a small workshop. One thing I did do was building a lazy Susan that holds four machines. Choose the less used machines and put it in a corner. Mine has the drill press, morticer, grinder and a mop. Good luck

Hi Andy all my stuff is on wheels as well, even my Table Saw. I made my own stand on wheels, and when i use it i wheel it up to my small 3ft x 3ft assembly table, and that is used as my out feed table as well, along with the weight of the Table Saw and the stand made from 3x2s, with a dust drawer underneath and locked wheels, there isn't any movement at all. It's very handy having everything on wheels, to move around when needed. Barry (Wirral, ENG)

Must admit I'm tempted to rig up something for the table saw... haven't decided yet. 😀👍

I think your idea of putting everything on wheels is a great idea, although I have to say my table saw is also on wheels although the metal skate has wind down feet as wel,l so when you have put it in the place you want it you can wind the whole saw back down on its stable feet, this also acts as a great leveller too.

good ideas... I'll try them!!!

That's a Wheely good tip.

@@GosforthHandyman hello. Those brackets on the corners to hold the the tool on the platform. What are they. Made or bought?

I have my universal machine on wheels (250Kg) they are braked and it moves easily, best thing I ever did. I also have a steel shelving system and mortice machine on wheels. These make a small workshop much more useable. Must make a bin like yours though.

I have had my whole workshop on wheels for years every part of my workshop stacks against the garage wall . I have a Makita table saw and it came on wheels , it can also folded away for storage it’s ace. I also have a mobile router stand and mobile mitre saw station like yer man says here anything that you can put on wheels do so.

Great video and good tip. I went with the same route. My worshop is a single bay garage. Trouble is got too many tools ;)

Wheels are definitely the way to go. But I would bot recommed dragging the planer sround by the tables.

Good stuff Andy. I am going to build a small workshop in my garden. I am a bit concerned about the noise and my neighbours.i get on all right with them and that's the way I want it to stay.

For the table saw, because they're quite light, 2 wheels on the back works well.

I've seen a few people do that - seems to work pretty well! 👍

I have my tablesaw on a cabinet in which I keep all my extra tools. That cabinet is on wheels. Unless I'm cutting down a full-size sheet of 3/4" ply (which I can't because my shop is so freakin small), it stays where I put it. There's always the option of shoving a scrap board under the wheels...

I put my table saw on 4 wheels years ago and it has worked out great and I don't even lock the wheels anymore as the saw is heavy enough to keep it from moving.

i didnt go down the wheeled route exactly. everything is on wheels except my thickness sanser and edge sander. i built a metal pallet for them and use my pallet truck for them. its not as convenient but they cant fall over while moving

Just doing the same thing. My wife is allowing me a small area of the garage so it'll be . . . . . pull out the machine I need and push it back after use. Still a very tight fit. 2 more frames to build and then I can get on with crossing more jobs off my ever increasing list. 😇 Jim

Even though I've just built a nice big workshop, it's about 8 x 12, I've got almost everything on wheels and it's great . I originally had things on wheels because I had to pack up my workshop twice a year when I went back to work, the space was about 3 x 5 and it was quite difficult getting everything packed in. Now that we have built a new house and are in the process of moving I'm still finding that everything being on wheels makes the space even more useful. The only thing that might not go on wheels or a wheeled cart is my WoodRat. The one tip I have is get wheels designed for a significantly greater weight than you are using at the moment as things like work benches have a habit of getting heavier, also the over rated wheels are much smoother rolling, I guess my workbench is probably over 150kg but it still moves smoothly

I've been using these wheels for years and they're VERY robust. My main assembly table is VERY heavy. 😀👍

i'v been trying to put my 2 tone lathe on wheels -it's hard :D

great idea building a square bin. What’s the dimensions for the bin as i would like to build one

thanks Want to put wheels on my shopping bag its quite tough because its got my hand held shampoo machine in it but its heavy can you advise me how?? I thought i would attach a small wood underneath on each side not heavy wood, and then do the wheels on would be really great

I wonder if something like this could work for my foosball table?? But how would I level it though assuming I can add casters to it to make it movable, any ideas? My garage has a small slope.

My wood cabinet base is so thin that if I drill up, the screw ends will stick up inside. Can I drill down into the casters?

Has anyone tried putting 6ft steel racking on wheels? Would be the ultimate mobile storage

Table saw on wheels for me

All my machines are on units I built with casters as I’m in a paralysed and in a wheelchair

And no affiliate links to the wheels you got? Sheesh man. Come on! ;) I'm confuddled at which to get for a 2.4m 5ft high shelf rack along the wall of my garage. It'll sit there on the wheels for bloody ages no doubt, but want the facility to move them about (done 2, making 3) and I'm seeing on mostly amercan vids these bright red things that look like something off a skateboard. Don't they flatten out? What wheels did ya get? Many thanks for alllll the vids ;) Will from pishin down, a suburb of Blackpool.

Good tip. But I'd rather put wheels UNDER everything LOL

I only have wheels on one thing in my workshop. What do you think it is?.................That's right.

Andy, this video has inspired me to make my work bench portable - cheers mate! kzread.info/dash/bejne/aYhrptFrprzUftI.html

You didn’t tell us what kind of wheels or how big. You missed the important information.

I have a project in need of your assistance... Can you give me your email so I can email you a picture of what I need. This way you can assist me. Thank you in advance Sunshine

Where did you buy the wheels?
