Thank you, Larry! Glad I could drop in a say hi to everybody this week. I’ll have tons of new vids as soon as the course is launched!

You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice kzread.infoUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.

As a kid I never thought much about why there’s room for your toes under the kitchen cabinets….until I built a teenager’s small primitive workbench in the garage. I immediately got mad at constantly kicking it when trying to belly up to a project. Then I was glad I built it a little under the height I really needed but I didn’t raise it at the bottom. I got a lucky double bonus by adding two layers of worktop that stuck out 4 extra inches. So instead of toes going under, the top came to ya. A couple years later I noticed how clamps made really good use of the overhang.

Looking forward to the course Ethan, your videos are always very useful and eell explained. 🇬🇧

Thank you, Chuck! I greatly appreciate the support-happy 4th! 😁🇺🇸

I love those casters - side-mounted, and they drop the weight of the bench on the ground to allow great stability. Just what I need for my upcoming workbench upgrade. Thanks! I'm looking forward to the tool lessons.

After watching your original video, I built one with these side mount casters. They work really well. Also I like the open bottom design better because I can roll the table over tools on the floor.

You’re innovative as well as a great teacher!

I attached some of those on my Harbor Freight workbench, and they're great. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the new course. Your explanation of things is great, so I'm sure your dedicated courses will be a hit.

I look forward to the course offering! Good luck.

Great Video. Just purchased these casters to install on my repurposed science table I purchased from a local school sale. It’s a beast but has tons of cubbies and storage areas and will be really handy in the shop. Thanks for the video.

I just built this - it's basically a combination of your first video + this one, but with some variations of my own. Here's what I did differently - not sure if it's good or bad (I'm not a professional). * Added a 2x4 and 2x3 frame under the bench top (2x4 for sides & 2x3 for ends), for more rigidity & to attach the tabletop (without the pocket screw method). The tabletop went on last, as the whole assembled unit with the top would have been too heavy to get upright if I attached it while upside down. To attach the top I used 2 1/2" screws up through the aforementioned frame into the tabletop. * Used 1/2" plywood for the top shelf, and 3/4 for the bottom, and under the bottom frame I used 2 cross-pieces vs one. * I used a 1/4" round-over on the outside edge of each leg corner, and 1/8" round-over around each skirt window opening. * I opted for 4" casters recommended by someone else, and used 1/4x2 1/2" lag bolts with washers to attach them to the bottom frame (only 3 bolts as one would hit the frame bolts). * I used mostly screws vs nails to fasten everything together, except for the skirt "box", and the leg pieces. * I made the window openings square instead of rounded so I'd have the option of adding pull-out shelves (or drawers) later. * To support the top shelf, instead of cutting plywood strips, I found 1x2 (3/4" x 1.5" actual) furring strips along with the half inch plywood perfectly fit the 2" plywood section at the bottom of the skirt - no ripping required, they provide a nice solid base for the shelf, and they aren't too expensive. Overall I'm satisfied with the outcome, though it's not perfect. I thought I had things pretty well aligned and square until I attached the bottom shelf, then I realized the legs aren't quite square (it's close enough for a workbench, but not good enough for living room furniture). Also I did use a nailer to fasten the leg pieces together, and had an issue with the nails shooting out through the side of the opposing piece (I learned I had to change the orientation of the nailer). I used the table saw (7191RS) to square up the 2x4's, and even with care I discovered the pieces aren't exactly the same width & thickness (I don't have a thickness planer). I want to create pieces for in the house (desk, coffee table, bench, end tables, etc), but I have a lot more practice to get things just right before I'll try that. I'm thinking about paint or stain on the whole under section, to give it a more finished look, as I'll use this not just in my garage, but in a "studio" space where I do other kinds of work. Also it came out to 35 1/4" tall so I might add 3/4" plywood blocks with the casters to bring it to 35 3/4,. BTW it took me wayyyyy more than 6 hours :-), probably more like 20-24 hours all told. Here's the end result: imgur.com/a/lYRpQ5N

Can’t wait for the course

Hello, would be nice to see a brief section of the miter saw and other saws lessons to include measuring and cutting aluminum deck rails (i.e. blade type, safety, etc) There are very few how to videos on that. May seem trivial, but as a first time homeowner who is new to woodworking and tools and not afraid to try anything once, I just like to know that I’m doing it correctly. Especially since they’re an expensive purchase. I love all of your videos and look forward to seeing your new endeavor. Thanks for this video. It was very useful.

Thank you, Tony!

Just put these casters on my workbench and im a fan. I will say if you are on quite uneven ground, they can go a bit wonky at times because the mechanism for retracting them is such that there needs to be constant force against the wheel up for it to stay in the wheels down position, but hasnt ever been a real issue, easy to go pop back in right spot.

I haven't managed to find an indepth tutorial on electric planes yet. Most videos seem to assume you already know how it works and how to use it and usually just show how to turn the knobs, so I'm interested in what you have to say.

I’ve been hemming and hawing for a while about which workbench to build. There’s another guy who posted about a modular one I really like (including plans). But today I bit the bullet and bought a door. I may still do the modular one but the door top one you posted seems like a quick way to get a solid workbench so I can get on to other projects in my backlog. I had to pay regular retail but it’s a nice hardboard door. I’m excited to get started!

Ok your back…can’t wait

Thanks for this great build … it’s simple but super useful! I’ll be making one based on this one soon. Have you considered some sort of bar connecting the foot pedals, so you can raise or lower each end together?

I need this course

Since you have already bought the casters, you can probably buy the plates that make them removable. The adapter plates are sold by various companies. Save you shins and ankles. As an FYI, it should be noted that the caster weight limit is based on the total of all 4 casters, not each one. Each caster is only capable of "lifting" approximately 1/4 of that weight.

Great build, BUT it seems like the new side mount casters could be an unnecessary trip hazard. I’m trying to think whether there is another mounting position, possibly cutout and inset, to get them out of the way, where your foot has to reach under to activate them rather than just press down?

Bench looks great. I never liked castors on a bench that I had to work on, it wobbled like hell. The new castors will do the trick, will they last doe 😮

Best wishes on your new endeavors; I'm sure they'll be great. Regarding the mobile work bench casters, I too added these, but to my table saw. I built a platform on which to set the saw and put the casters on that. It works OK and improves the height for me, but in my small shop the levers stick out a bit far and could become a tripping hazard. I saw that one of those you linked had the levers painted safety orange. That's a good idea. I think I'll paint mine.

Great mods to a sturdy, but simple workbench. I also install leveling feet for customers who wish they would have picked a more detail-oriented concrete contractor. The combination of casters & leveling feet is the ideal combination for DIYers whose (usually) garage floor isn’t level. Thanks for the links to the casters you use. Best wishes for success with your course. I’ve never seen an online course that covers such a wide range of power tools used by DIYers (& in construction).

I gave those casters on my RAS cabinet. They require a lot of extra room, and when bearing weight, they are NOT easy to operate.

Well what do you know, the casters that you linked are the same #1 & #2 that I recommend to my customers. I can attest to the fact that they’re tough, yet inexpensive. You could easily pay double what Spacecare & Ronlap charge, but why would you want to?

Downfall with those casters is if you have a penny on the floor, it might as well be a mountain.

I'll ask here, as I saw the same question on the original build with no answer. Your skirt dimensions are not adding up. 11.5" rip, 5.5" opening, 3" top, 2" bottom, does not equal 11.5" rather 10.5.... Unless I am missing something....
