- A workbench on wheels, of sorts, but without it's own wheels. Two levers are used to lift it onto moving dollies when I need to move it.

I love that your video’s start the minute you press play, no tedious intro.
Thank you.
No matter how many videos I watch of this man, there is always something in them that makes me say "he's a genius" out loud
That lifting mechanism is so genius in its simplicity.

I was about to say the same thing! Less than $30 for two hardwood moving dollies at Harbor Freight and some scrap 2x4s for levers and you're all set!
That "clever part" sure was clever!
I was waiting for a comment on that :D
First + Surly you mean the entire video.
Dopamine levels rocket
Yep. I think i'm going to borrow that idea. Handy.
I was expecting a complex lifting mechanism screwed to the legs. Sometime the simple things are the best.
This channel is by far one of the best things that have happened to the internet. Real heritage.
I like the super-simple and super-clever dolly mechanism. One really cool thing about it is that you can use the same dollies to move many pieces rather than having to attach wheels to every piece.
Great idea! I've been researching retractable caster designs for a new workbench I want to build, and I never considered making the wheel mechanism itself modular and reusable.
@@SleazyDutcham I ended up getting a Harbor Freight pallet jack and am now making custom pallets for all my tools.
5/20/2019 USA Grandpa Bill: Matthias, you are the pre-eminent go-to genius of mechanical know-how of RUclips. I am so glad you are here and continue to give gifts that keep on giving down through the years. You are the biggest blessing. Your humor, humility, and excellence are better t.v. programming than anything on the networks.
Woah I wasn’t making excuses! I am a big fan of Matthias and was praising him for the hard work he has put into making all the tools! Easy kids!
We recently renovated our kitchen, so I scored the old cabinets for my workshop (yay!). Shifting them to my outside workshop by myself was a breeze with just one dolly.
I am amazed as to how useful they are, over "rough" ground surfaces such as uneven bricks. Your idea of using 2 dollies has enthused me to make more for my workbench. The casters are pretty cheap too, so it's a great idea, thanks!
I was referred to your site. You have inspired me to begin woodworking again. I had really stopped because of the prohibitive cost, but I've been "re-inspired" to try and do some things at a lower cost. Great videos, plans and information. Love it!!
Just made this! Totally works. Mathias you are a genius! There are a lot of moveable caster / wheel setups on RUclips but this one is by far the best and easiest jig. Love it. Thank you Matthias for all your videos. I learn a lot of unique ways to do things from you.
So many self-made tools and jigs, and you end the class with an ingenious cabinet lifting method. Thanks, Matthias for all the advanced lessons in avoiding all the advanced machinery.
Your skill level and then there’s the unique equipment make your videos a pure joy to watch. Thank you so much.
Hahaha, watching you work with all those jigs that you built yourself, and then building more magical things out of them.... It is like seeing a wonderful Walt Disney fairy tale movie that has one of these good hearted wizards... throwing a pinch here and a spoon there and viola! Pure Magic!
Take a bow, dear teacher!
That’s BRILLIANT! Best bench moving idea I’ve seen....... and you can take the dollies to use them somewhere else if you need to. Simple, uncomplicated, can’t thank you enough. 👏🏻👍🏼🤓
That lifting mechanism was genius! Sometimes the simplest ideas are usually the best ideas.
I love the way you apply accurate cabinet making craftsmanship using common 2x4s to create a precise project equivalent to high end furniture. The lifting arms are pure genious.
Cutting notches on the table saw freehand like a boss! Bloody brilliant idea on moving the bench.
That lifting mechanic is genius. So simple to make, and works flawlessly. Can't say I'd think of the same thing.
I love the simple idea of the levers to raise and move the bench. My Grandfather often said we start with the complicated and work toward the simple. He was a brilliant fabricator of many things, and the kind of man I think you and your father would have liked to befriend.
This is a very efficient use of moving dollies if you build a few benches with the same rail height. Also it is great to see you making stuff with your machines again. I am nearing completion on my copy of your bandsaw and must build your box joint jig next. Thanks for sharing as always sir. Have a wonderful week.
Dear Mathias,
I know slobs, and you don't qualify as one. Also, that is the most practical bench moving system I've ever seen. Thanks once again!
The Lever Mechanism is frikin BRILLIANT !
That was AMAZING! Love the jigs and special tools you've developed.
Thanks Matthias, your jigs and ideas never cease to amaze me! Love following along your thought process.
Its so.... simple.
Your ingenuity never ceases to amaze me.
I'm in awe of your woodworking skills... and your equipment.
Man, really: You made my day. I was wondering how I could make those casters easy rectractable, almost ended up with a electro-hydraulic disc differential lock-kind of thing. And now you. Great.
Worlds sturdiest workbench! Nice job
Proof positive of the genius of Matthias, Simplicity re-defined. Like a fine wine my friend, you just get better with age. Cheers from Michael. Australia.
Always practical and smart. Thanks for the video and a warm greeting from Madrid.
Clever indeed! Good to see all of your old friends in use too.
Thanks for the inspiration!
Great build and great tip! I love the use of all of your older homemade machines!
Love your simple yet ingenious ways of solving problems.
Awesome build! Love the joinery in this! This should be stable for a LONG time!
Ingenious lifting idea, so simple. Your homemade tools are amazing. Ever think about tool companies copying your stuff?
You havnt been paying attention😊 the pantorouter?
Not all of his homemade tools are copies of a manufactured tool. Some are his own invention. Those are the ones I'm talking about. So I do pay attention thank you.
I think what Alin was getting at is that the metal pantorouter that Matthias has is basically a manufactured copy of his original design.
Matthias pantorouter is not a copy, it's the Original
It shocks me how few people understand the original comment
Awesome, you're a master craftsman and love watching your videos.
This is brilliant! been looking at so many wheel lifting options and this one is perfect! Now I have to go out and give it a go, thanks!!!
I do not know what to say anymore, you make everything look simple! I will remember this video when I build my table saw
I went and bought two-12 x 18 inch Harbor Freight wooden dollies ($9 each) and was excited to try this but had not built the two L shaped levers. I thought why not use my floor car jack. I rolled the jack and eye-balled the middle of the workbench. I placed a 4 x 4 that was wider than my workbench (approx. 22 inches long) on top of the jack and began to lift my 400 pound workbench. I raised the workbench just enough to place two-2 x 4s - one on top of each dolly. I then slowly lowered the jack leaving my workbench a half inch off my garage's concrete floor. I could now move my workbench easily. Thank you Matthias!
Great video, and your 'clever lift' is "simply amazing"!! Thanks again for all your hard work sharing these with us!!! W
You're one of my favorite channels on RUclips
Just the idea I was looking for in a way to move my benches around without those pesky wheels being attached all the time! Thanks Matthias!
Excellent video friend. You saved saved me a lot of hassle. Thank you.
I swear the dolly part was the most clever thing I've ever seen before... the rest of the video was clever but I'm already used to the usual Matthias stuff lol. Excellent work man
This is why I’m subscribed to you Matthias!
in case it wasnt clear... Matthias video' s are really the best on woodworking on the internet
Matthias - you are a craftsman wizard !
6.50.... mind blown! awesome job as always Mathias.
Matthias Wandel you are an absolute GENIUS, I love watching your videos. I wish I Was a quarter smart as you, then I could probably make my own life so much better!
Finally did this to my own bench. Simple and awesome. Thanks Matthias.
You give me knowledge, skill, and ingenuity envy.
Video of the year. Goodbye casters!
You have so many fun jigs and machines for doing cool joinery. One of these day I will buy a bunch of your plans and make some.
Was waiting for an over engineered lifting mechanism... Haha
No wooden gears in this workbench :(
Hahaha, same here. Imagine my 'wtf, that's just so simple i would've never thought of that' moment at the end :D
Add me to the list lol
Sssshhh. Someone might patent it.
I was also flabbergasted at the end of the video. This way you can lift any heavy bench.
How can anyone give this a thumbs down? You are awesome Matthias!
Awesome as always! Keep rocking! Greetings from Morocco! Been a fan since I was in high school!
Wow... love the simplicity of the dolly lifters at the end
Awesome video Matthias! Very inspiring for me.
always impressed with your clever solutions.
i'm french and i love your videos you are very very intelligent
Very clever lift mechanism, indeed. So simple and works perfect. I have a workbench in my future as well and I may go with this technique for moving it around.
The hammering, in this vid especially, is so satisfying!!
Allways nice to see a new video from you :D
really enjoyed the video. I'd love to see my father be a carpenter again. Selfemployed this time. He's working in a really stressfull Office Job. Have you got any tips on how to get into selfemployed working?
Wow you are extremely smart with the jigs that you make.
Nice work Matthias! Thanks for sharing the video with us.😎👍JP
Nice...love watching these builds
Me too
Me three.
Me four!
Jig heaven! Astounding and inspirational.
That clever part was indeed very clever. I like that idea. A whatever that isn't going to be moved often - if ever - is still highly mobile in seconds. Very clever engineering!
Awesome. Love that lifting mechanism. Also, I think the technical term for a box joint that's not at the end is "a shitload of mortise and tenons."
Elegant solution and a long ways from your table saw lifting mechanism. Sheer genius.
You’re a genius my friend, I’d love to clone your workshop.
brilliant idea, as always you have a mind that is astonishing, good
Nice job, and nice mortising machines you have made.
Love it! That's a classic Matthias design.
Using a lever such as that to lift heavy things is what propelled me into woodworking a few years back. I saw someone else's using the same technique to make a motorcycle lift. I made one for my cruiser to go cheap on a lift but in the process got hooked on woodworking.
Love the lever action lifters and furniture dollies for mobility. Great idea.
As ideias desse rapaz são sensacionais. Excelente profissional, boas ferramentas e o mais impressionante, Ele faz tudo sozinho. Parabéns. Show!
That lifting mechanism is brilliant!
It's simply amazing, how many jigs you have. Love to see your videos.
yep! that was clever!! Clever is the essence of your channel.
Very nicely built, I especially liked the lifting method, quite clever. Thanks for the video.
Quite clever? QUITE CLEVER?? No, my friend- 💡 Matthias clever! 💡
The lifting mechanism is so awesome
That is a pretty neat trick with lifting it, another great video sir!
Nice design, and thanks for the CC.
You are the real professional.
you could start every video with "here comes the clever part"
Simple elegance! Love it.
"Vertical Thing", awesome technical reference. Love'd the L-Brackets idea. Going to have to give that idea a try.
That's a clever lever that will work forever! Never ever fail however...
You have great inventive tools. Can you guide us to do your stuff?
That dolly method is awesome!
Coalition of Rob o
cool as always ! thank you for doing the lords work
Matthias, you are a genius! XD Clever part was clever!
I'm setting up my new shop and I'll be building a new workbench. This dolly feature would be pretty neat.
OMG the lifting mechanism is such a smart idea. I'm going to use that to move heavy furniture around.
Mind blown on the dolly method. Might as well be the Mathias method. wth.
I think that after looking at all the insanely brilliant home made machines used throughout this build, the ‘clever’ part was a little anticlimactic. This man is a genius.
Hi Matthias another very well made bench , you could put the extra middle support thingy at the back and it wouldn't spoil the front view , the levers for the dolly wheel's was a good idea,G.
thanks for the part at the end for caming up on the dolly so simple I can use that now on my assembly bench for feet as it is permanently castored and will work elegantly
u are genius. your videos are some kind of drug for me, give us more! :)
