I made a simple locking catch for the retracting casters I integrated into my new, mobile welding table.

Nice job. F___ (forget) the spring, it will be an ongoing consternation. Add some mass to the opposite side of your latch and let gravity be your best pal.

@Greybeardmedic 3 года назад

Wesley, you have good mechanical aptitude, your videos are easy to follow along, and you have a watchable quality. I would therefore make this recommendation: Change the format to copy what Norm Abrams does: Show the finished project at the beginning of the video, and THEN show how you made it. You will get people hooked at the get go. Thanks for the retractable casters design, most excellent.

@jemfly1062 2 года назад

Agreed Eric, absolutely. It would be brilliant if all who make projects would show completed jobs at the START of the clip. Instead, so many show a brief image or even worse, nothing at all. What about a five second introduction of what it is, what it does, how it works and then the making? This is part of the magic of video which so few seem to understand. So many spend so long talking to the camera and not enough time showing relevant details of their project.

@stevebreland389 6 лет назад

Clever design, great attitude you have, too. And yeah, that is a spooky-looking moth.

@donknotts6118 3 года назад

Had to give the thumbs up when you went all clickspring with it... G'day

@chrisosh9574 6 лет назад

Notwithstanding the crappy spring, I would call that an elegant solution. Nice job!

Your video sponsor is more interesting than most on RU-vid 😃

@gregaltenhofel7326 Год назад

It was someone that had commented on "never had a taco" and you wished they were coming to town so you could take them to the "Greatest Taco in the World" or something to that effect. I grew up in Dallas (Oak Cliff) of course it was in the 60's & 70's. Of course Oak Cliff didn't have all the little mom & pop Mexican food places. We had El Chico and El Fenix but that was about it. I'll look for Velvet Taco

@CeeKayz0rz Год назад

Holey poot!! I was reluctant to build this caster set for my latest bench project because I didn't want to putz around with the locking mechanisms I was finding... This, however, is PERFECT! :O

Happy Thanksgiving! I made it to the hardware store already and picked up a proper spring. Also, I'm well aware those tacks were horrible. I couldn't see what I was doing. Thanks for watching!

@hopsgarage5513 6 лет назад

Not tricks, gimmicks, no BS.. and some awesome talent....sir you have a new subscriber!

@donjohnson8649 Год назад

Some of that reminds me of the old saying my welding instructor used to say to me:: " a grinder and a little paint will make a welder what he ain't''". When je looked at some of my welds! 😉 I've (hopefully) improved since those days...I really like the idea and am probably going to have to copy that, but just may have to make the table top a bit thicker.

@Jer_Schmidt 6 лет назад

I'll subscribe even though you already hit 20k... From what I've seen so far you deserve way more than that.

@dorandan100 6 лет назад

By far the most elegant and simple-to-build design I've seen, and I intend to shamelessly steal it for every table and big tool in my upcoming workshop build-out. Many thumbs skyward to you and your creepy-ass moth sponsor.

@OzzyCPT 4 года назад

Awesome! This is beautifully simple. Was looking for something like this and thought up some complex cam type system until I decided to look on RU-vid. Thanks for the inspiration Wesley

@craigmunday3707 6 лет назад

@ezza88ster Год назад

Great! You got me to the aha! moment on my design problem. I have a lower shelf in the way on a retro-fit design. Now I see how I can lock the system at right angles to my first thoughts.

I see you own the worlds single best belt sander!! I too am the proud owner of that Harbor Freight gem! It won't die no matter what I do to it, that includes setting it on fire when I got sparks from metal down inside a pile of dust in the housing! Thumbs Up from me!

@garagemonkeysan 6 лет назад

Your videos are very entertaining! Great build. : )

@fritzfulgham1428 6 лет назад

A simple solution would be to design the catch with more weight to the left of the pivot, then the catch will automatically swing to the right. No spring required

@plainwornout3964 5 лет назад

I think I would have lost patience with the spring and realize that the clamp works just fine when I need to move it lol. 😝 Great design.

@tomwyrick2824 6 лет назад

Great build Wes! The only thing I would do different would be ditch the spring and use some eccentric weight since gravity always works all the time and never breaks (yet). Keep up the cool vids!

@Erosgenuino 5 лет назад

Muy chulo y practico su sistema de ruedas retractiles.

@rossburke9991 6 лет назад

Watched all of click spring, ave and this old Tony. I like your style. Not that I would ever want ave to change, I think its nice to have something I can watch with my young boys :)

@kevinmatthew4605 4 года назад

Love that table top system ! And the retracting castors I've welded for 25 yrs in the trade and built many projects at home in my garage and so could have used a system like that for fitting Great build 👍

@rdspeedfab 6 лет назад

Very cool! I think I will use this idea on a table in the future. Thank you for sharing! You may have better luck with that spring lasting if you use an extension spring in place of that compression spring.

@randymcdonald1419 6 лет назад

Hey Wesley great vids. Just a tip for the bandsaw. If you saw your flatstock on the flat it will be more square and should help avoid blade wander. Thanks for the vids.

@thzzzt 5 лет назад

My table weighs somewhere around 300 lbs and currently I have fixed casters that touch the ground only if I deadlift one end of the table 10 degrees, so this is a very welcome idea. It will certainly save my back! You have a new subscriber.

@beatricethemiata8565 6 лет назад

@mrechelon7051 3 года назад

Great design ,great style of presentation. Nice moth action at end! I am working on similar for a table that won't move much but needs to be easy to do so. Love the auto lock mechanism..i was looking a more complicated ratchet mechanism. Yours is way better. Now wheres my huge metal saw?

@MarkWarbington 6 лет назад

Hey great channel glad I found you. Next time I'm in Tx at my sisters does the same offer stand, I too am a taco virgin, (uk). Subbed.

@jerrybobteasdale 5 лет назад

For the spring, skip drilling holes. Weld rings( chain links split open, or split ring washers) at top and bottom. Stretch an appropriate spring.

@garybrown9719 2 года назад

Wouldn't it be kool if you could rig up an exhaust fan that would kick on when you start weld

@S30Build Год назад

i am about to attempt this, my only concern is putting that kind of weight on the casters at an angle to lift the table, as well as the the arms used to hold the casters down under load.

@bogsdolics 6 лет назад

Hi Wesley love you videos and your humour,I think you used a compression spring rather than a tension spring ,p.s was that the moth going wee . G

@ilemjohn 6 лет назад

Fun!

@hughgaynor4320 5 лет назад

I enjoyed your welding table build and the subsequent caster project. The caster mechanism is a really good design which I may modify to allow a timber work bench to become mobile. However your welding is considerably better than your Antipodean accent. Whilst my Australian accent is genuine my welding could be described as bloody awful. I have liked a number of your ideas. I have subscribed to your channel. Thank you
