Single-Action Retracting Casters for a Mobile Welding Table

I fabricated a custom, mobile base for my new CertiFlat welding table and equipped it with casters that extend and retract with the press of a single foot pedal.

See how I integrated a locking mechanism: https://youtu.be/okyl5C9wGiI

  • I love this design, but I have a question. Wouldn’t it have been easier to cut the tube (at the 5:00 minute mark) into a 45 degree angle? I’m new to this and would love to learn the reason behind that part of the design .

  • I have built mine yesturday... works like a charm... thank you for inspiration... :) much respect...

  • You wanted 20,000? now you have 120,000 subscribers ! Great job!

  • I'm building 2 welding tables my plates i got from the scape yard are 1inch thick 24"×40" with holes
    What would be better 10ft x 4ft or 8ft x 40inch
    My smaller table is going to be 40"×50"

  • I think the best complement is that I built it! I did add one more component to it though - a removable wooden top for woodworking assembly.

    You also made me feel better in my welding skills not being very attractive after viewing your welds.
