I like the retractable casters idea because the wheels should be used to move the table around instead of putting heaving load of the table and the table stays stable in one place during the work. Good job Jerry.
Great design, I'm in the process of building this, what distance from the bottom of the legs did you weld the lower rhs brace and the c channel which braces against the hydraulic jack?
Hi Jerry! Came across your design for moving your bench - that’s the best I’ve seen!! So simple!! I’m putting it on my workbench now, wanted to ask where you got the springs, how you determined the sizing for them?? Write back if you can, I’d love to hear from the Master what you used!!
Great video and build jerry. I am planning something similar for my welding table but it will lift a floating table like fireball tools welding table also. any chance you could do a close up video of the mechanism? How it attached to the 2 rails is what I am really interested in? cheers Bob
Nice. I'm looking for a solution to adding retractable casters to a woodworking bench with drawers thats goimg to weigh about 600lbs and I think I've found my solution! Did you weld the nuts for the all-thread to the caster bases? Thanks.
Brilliant use of bottle jacks! Curious how well those springs hold up over time. I'd be an idiot and leave them tightly compressed for days/weeks though. Freaking great work!
Springs don't wear out when you leave them compressed. Its the spring cycles that wear out springs. If it were true then people would be jacking up their cars every time they parked.
You don't need springs. the table will lower to the ground and sit on the legs without any springs. The springs are to raise the wheels off the ground which isn't necessary.

Very cool set up man!
Excelente!!! 👏👏👏 mis saludos desde Argentina!!
Where did you get the springs?
Great idea, just went and got my bottle jacks and casters! Appreciate the video and the idea for mine.
Interesting idea you got there. That is something I might want to try for my Everlast welding table.
That’s awesome! Would you happen to have any sponsored links that we can follow to buy the jacks and other parts? I’d love to support your channel!
love it
I liked all your innovations. Liked and Subscribed.

Can you add this to our current tables ?
Would it be a good idea to put a vertical above the jack? It just looks like there could be quite a bit of pressure put on that piece.
Actually, I guess if you're just quickly propping it to move it then lowering it may not be an issue.

Great idea, might try this for a table saw base. How did you attached the threaded rod to the casters?
thanks for sharing the idea.

Very Good!..
Very nice table! Where did you purchase the springs?
clever little idea
Very practical design

The springs are compressed only when the wheels are down. When the wheels are up the springs are at their least compressed state.
Really nice idea! Where did you find the springs?
You don't need springs. the table will lower to the ground and sit on the legs without any springs. The springs are to raise the wheels off the ground which isn't necessary.

@@briangc1972 Looks to me like they also compress the bottle jack.
