This video describes a foot-operated system of easily extended and retracted casters for my power tools. My shop is in a 2 & 1/2 car garage. When our two cars are parked inside, all tools must be stowed against the walls. With cars outside, the garage becomes my shop and when I want to use a tool, I can move it away from the wall, as necessary, in seconds. Thank you for your interest; please subscribe.

Most likely an engineer.

Back again mobilizing more things for the workshop, utilizing Carl's design principal. I see 47 people upset that they didn't consider logic! Thanks again for making this video Carl. Tom

Thank you so much for this. Men like you are what we need more of.

Simply the most elegant solution I have yet seen to a problem we all have! Thanks for sharing in such a lucid manner. Your installation methods are what caps the method and raises the bar to true ingenuity. I have a few mobile bases that need your method. Thanks again.

Wouldn’t it be better if someone built a bracket that the table saws leg would slip into and the bracket had a hole in it for a wheel

The simple and least complicated solutions are always the BEST solutions. Excellent!

Who seriously disliked this video? What tools...this chap is brilliant! Thanks for showing us this, will be copying your design!

@daniellecarbajal1309 7 лет назад

I am shocked just like everyone else! I can't believe it's so simple and works so smoothly! I'm going to attempt to make one for my old Delta table saw I'm renovating! Thank you for taking the time to show and describe how you did each one. You really are talented!

@KenNylandMusic 6 лет назад

Wow! What a great system! Just watched 20 videos on making your own retractable casters and by far yours is the best! You are a genius my friend .Thanks for sharing! :)

@williammorrison3040 10 лет назад

Great original solutions. Good videos. The best on you tube for serious woodworkers with small / garage / basement shops.

@markkoons7488 3 года назад

This is a lot more useful than the majority of retractable caster videos which self-indulgently show some yahoo sawing and screwing for 10 or 15 minutes. Thanks.

@MrMiddleagesman 9 лет назад

Very clever and oh so simple. Thanks for sharing a solution that many small shop guys are seeking.

@NeoMorphUK 2 года назад

Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) is something we don’t do these days. Too many people over-engineer their designs but these are simple and elegant (definitely not stupid). Kudos sir. I will be copying them for my new router table.

@icdtww6396 9 лет назад

Your skills are amazing and ingenious! Reminds me so much of my father. Plus you are so very generous with not only explaining how they work, but also taking your equipment apart to show your work. Thank you for sharing this. I have so many ideas for my small garage shop.

@richardrivera5546 3 года назад

This is the best system that I have seen yet. I bought the plans. Thank you Carl.

@MrPman4768 5 лет назад

Thank You for sharing your ideas. This is the simplest solution to the problem of moving heavy tools around.

@kokenhammer 2 года назад

When I served my Carpentry Apprenticeship, I wisely (in hindsight) chose to work with the older guys on site. They were in their 60's and were practical blokes just like you. They showed me shortcuts and skills that they had learned over the previous decades. I look back now and treasure those times and greatly appreciate the knowledge that they shared, again . . . just like you.

@crazy_dreamer7616 5 лет назад

@funkeeefresh 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing your very smart and simple design. I say simple because it is easy to use not because it didn’t take a lot of design thought. So well executed. I have to keep rewatching your videos so I can figure it all out. I like how you modified each one for the specific tool and the individual need. Bravo! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are a master.

Carl, these systems are insanely brilliant! I especially liked the one you made for the tool chest. I’m looking at videos that people are posting today with similar designs but you’ve been doing this for a decade or more. Thank you!
