This Mobile Workbench is WAY BETTER After This Upgrade! (Rolling Work Table Casters)
I'd been meaning to add a lower shelf to my work bench for a while. Given that I'm shooting so much for the new online courses, I figured now was the right time!
But, I wanted to get rid of the old 4" casters, and find something that would let me lower the table to the floor, where it would be more grounded and stable.
These retractable casters are everywhere now. They're not only fairly cheap, they're also very effective! I added a set of 4 to the long ends of the table (this would keep them out of my way when I'm building stuff at the table).
They work great! I thought that the retractable casters would get in your way as you walk around the workbench, but you really don't even notice they're there.
They mount with a simple template, several screws, a split washer and a nut. Very easy to install!
The lower shelf is basically just a 2x4 frame with a 3/4" plywood top. I screwed it straight to the bottoms of the existing table legs. The whole thing is now extremely strong, and still highly mobile.
Thanks for watching!
