Retractable Caster System for My Planer Stand // Woodworking Shop Project

In this video, I add a retractable caster system to my planer stand. I'm really not a a fan of those casters where you have to hunt around for them with your feet-- I wanted a system that was quick, easy, and thoughtless... I think I achieved that.
This design was inspired by this video/design by Carl Holmgren:
• Tool Cabinet for Mecha...
I did make significant changes, but that was my starting point.

Welp, I know what I’m doing this afternoon: copying this genius idea and telling all my friends I designed it myself!

Haha 👍

Pure genius! Keep up the great work, so we can all copy...errrr emulate you. :)

Great latch design

Cool concept! I like how easy you made it to access from the top.

[@RobertJKeller]

Thanks man! Ease-of-use was definitely the #1 priority.

Very useful, one cart for two tools is super neat.

Comment / question / suggestion: Comment: Really like the video and the design. Specifically like the interior caster design, rather than the "out-rigger" casters I've seen in other designs. Very ingenious. Question: Why are the casters, on the handle side so far inset? Seems like rolling around would be more stable if they were nearer the edge/corners. Maybe weight distribution? Suggestion: A caster lockdown variation (instead of using a handle) would be to extend the upper (L) actuator arm a bit and have a swivel block on the right side of the lower (R) actuator arm, that would captivate the end of the upper (L) actuator arm to "lock" the casters in the "down" position for moving. This could be foot operated. Still a great design and idea. Thank you for sharing the video.

Make a foldable table for the side of a bed, something like what we have on plane seats.
Can be used for a laptop or eating , while sitting on the bed.

What did you use to drill the holes that looked so slow?
