Our workbench becomes mobile in this video as we build the retractable wheel system.
This is the fifth video in a longer series about making a versatile Workbench/Workstation. This project is especially awesome for small workshops but the general construction methods can be used for any size wood shop!
Here´s a short list of tools that I use or that went into the workbench. These are affiliate links that will lead you straight to the amazon page of the item.

This is a pretty solid little workbench. While once you figure out how it comes together, it is physically Easy to assemble ruclips.net/user/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh by yourself. But the diagrams explaining the steps are really pretty bad. I could not get the handle pins in all the way despite multiple attempts, so I just used a screw I had on hand for the 2nd handle. I could not get the first pin in further or pull it back out. You are supposed to hammer it in, but I had no leverage and the handle is plastic and I did not want to risk breaking it. I will get a lot of use out of the bench because of the convenient size and height. It does fold up nicely for storage. They even explain how to fold it so you don't get pinched...that is important!
This is essentially a work of art. Bravo, man.
Of all the retractable caster videos I've seen thus far, these look to be the best. Even the ones shown for the lighter tool are better than the others. I've seen a caster mechanism that looks similar to that, but they used two pieces of wood that rub against each other rather than a roller.
This mechanism that uses a cam (or "eccentric" as you put it) reminds me of one I saw in a diagram years ago. I think it might have been in a Family Handyman magazine, or possibly some other woodworking magazine.
Very nice. Love the true craftsman design.
Thank you for sharing. Your Children's Children will appreciate your good workmanship. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much! Will do.
Beautifully engineered, great work.
Very nice. I've been watching many videos on this subject. Your design is quite elegant, yet very strong. Thank you for sharing this.
Great job and video once again!
It looks really good! A lot of work must have gone into this! I'm impressed
Thanks mate :)
this is a really good job man!
Wow!
Excellent job.👍
Thanks :D
Nice work, the result will be great!
Thanks mate :)
Cool mechanism.
Mal wieder sehr schöne Arbeit!
Dankesehr! Frohes Neues!
Just found your channel and have watched most of the workbench videos. Really lile your style
Awesome, glad you like it! Good to have you!
Thank you Thomas.your very kind.tim
nice video thanks
You need to use a blade guard on that band saw !!!!!
Ficou show de bola gostaria de saber se você tem o desenho da alavanca que levanta a bancada?
Hi Neat work, the only bit I would do different is to bolt the wooden pivot/bearing/dowel holders to cross member as load would be applied up on them as the casters are pushed down otherwise great job ,G
Very elegant! Perhaps a thin nylon plate for the eccentric to rub against will be smoother. This is a really nice design!
Thanks Eric! Great Idea!
Hi Tomas,
An excellent build, I would like to know when u you shall be releasing the plans for wheels. I am about start building my new workbench and would like to add the castor wheels to it just you’ve attached them. Please advise
Soon-ish... I can send you the wheel-drawing if you go to my website and send me a message at the contact-page.
Regards
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 Amazing great
Cracking bench idea and liftable caster's.
Did I miss the part how the Dowl stops sliding out the holder's after time?
Haha no, you didn´t miss that part. I thought about putting some stop-pin through the dowel, but I use the mechanism only in rare occasions and then it doesn´t bother me at all.
_ Congratulations! 👍 🇧🇷
Great video. Do you have a full video of the retractable wheel system on your planer?
Hi Steven,
unfortunately not.
Regards
Hi Thomas wonderful job,Thomas how big is your bandsaw.kind regards tim
Hi Tim,
the wheels are 32 cm in diameter, the saw has a reach of 30 cm and a maximum height under the blade guides of 18 cm.
Brilliant concept. I wondered why you didn’t leave the dowl the full length of the work bench so that one action from either end would lift or drop all 4 feet at the same time
Thanks :) That was my initial thought but I was afraid that the required momentum would get so high that it would simply twist the 2 m long dovel, instead of moving the 2 feet at the opposite end.

Sehr schönes Projekt. Ich hatte mich von der gleichen Werkbank inspiriert gefühlt bin aber noch in der Planung daher verfolge ich gern wie es weitergeht. Mich würde interessieren, könntest du etwas mehr bilder oder ein kurzes Video machen von den Rollen unter dem Hobel? Das würde mich für meinen sehr interessieren, da ich im moment eine einfache platte darunter habe mit fixierbaren rollen, was mit aber nicht soo sehr gefällt, da es nicht 100% stabil ist. Viele Grüße aus Neuseeland. Cheers.
Moin,
ich werde irgendwann mal eine ausführliche Werkstatttour machen, wenn alles soweit eingerichtet ist. Dann könnte ich etwas ausführlicher darüber reden. Als schnelle Lösung kannst du dir das Video anschauen, dass ich als Vorlage genommen habe:

Neidische Grüße zurück nach NZ!
Very well presented bench build.
At 12:54, you suggest that the blocks for the dowel don’t carry any load. Are those blocks part of lifting the bench when the wheels are used?
I think he's saying those screws are not carrying any load because the very large bolts do that, the screws are just for positioning and tightening.
Do you have a pdf of the templates or paper patterns you used on your lifting mechanism? It would be great if you did.
Thanks
mark
Hi Mark,
if you go to my website and send me a message I can email it to you.

Hello Tomas, cool project! do you have a name or link for that mobile drill plunger? It looked really handy!
Hi, thanks! I bought this one:
www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0043VUCGO/
I took out one of the springs and straigtened the bottom on sandpaper...it´s a cheap one ;)
It´s not the most precise but good for my needs.
Cheers :)
Hi there lovely job.how big is your band saw specs please.kind regards tim
Sehr gut! Ich bin gerade auch beim bau einer Hobelbank. Da Ich aber die Bank so bauen musste, dass die Bank (wenn Ich um/ausziehe) wieder zusammenbau bar ist konnte Ich leider kein solch ein System wie du verwenden. Ich habe Stattdessen 2 Keile an einer kurzen seite an der Werkbank. Mit einer Gewinde Spindel wird ein keil verschoben und drückt den anderen nach unten. Dadurch setzen bei mir sich die Räder auf. LG
Moin, das klingt auch nach einem sehr soliden System! Danke und lg zurück
I really like it however I think I would have run one dowel the length of the table so you could adjust all the wheels at the same time for any side. Regardless love the idea and the way you try to avoid as much as possible all screws and nails
Hi Andre,
thank you! My first thought was one long dowel, too. But then I got concerned that it would only really lift one set of legs and leave the other one half way down, because of flex and twist in a 6 foot long dowel, I guess it would have had to be much thicker. So I went the easy way.
Thanks for watching and thank you for commenting!
Where did you get the exact shape from ?
12:00 Where can I get those feet? Amazon link would help a lot. I cannot find any that are that big. thank you
Hi, I had them made at a metal shop from 10 mm steel plate and M 20 threaded rod, aka half inch or 3/8 inch steel and 3/4 inch threaded rod, diameter was about 80 mm or circa 3 inches.
Surprised the dowel was placed in the thin part of the cam on the lift. Waxing the parts might help on the easing of the cam action?
Waxing is a great idea! Will do. The dowel goes all the way through, I just had it enter on that side because it´s the surface that won´t get in contact with the wheel board. Regards
14:37 how did you ensure that the mechanism cant flip out like you see here? It looks like it can happen by pulling at the leverage or did i miss something?
Hi Raphael,
nothing really, good eye! I thought about adding a crosspin behind the first block, but after trying the mechanism i noticed that it wont be necessary, the mechanism doesn´t get pushed out or anything by using it, I would have to pull on it. So I could still easily add something, but don´t have to :)
Regards
in case you want to here a little easy idea, just drill a hole and lime a pin of wood in there. Not that nice looking but simple ;)
Yes, that was exactly my idea :) I called it "crosspin" but I guess that´s not the right word for something like that
does not matter if it is "the right word" i do not really know much about craftsmanship but i have some eye for let's say quality issues. But fine.
In general very well done project. Btw i found you over wintergatan ;)
Hallo! Du hast den Griff nicht am "Nach-vorne-Rutschen" gehindert. Ist mir im Video aufgefallen.
Aber mein lieber Schieber, das ist alles wie fuer Uebermenschen gemacht. Ich bin ja schon ein Fan von Stabilitaet. Mein Tisch hat auch ungefaehr 150 Kg. Aber das ist schon gewaltig. Was vergleichbares hab ich bisher nur bei James King in den USA gesehen. Ich bin auf den naexten Teil gespannt.
Hallo!
Ich hatte überlegt, ob ich noch eine Sicherung einbaue, aber weil ich die Mechanik nicht oft benutzen werde, hab ich es erstmal so gelassen. Bisher stört es mich nicht.
Das hohe Gewicht kommt durch die Schränke, die noch eingebaut werden und deren Füllung. Die tragende Konstruktion, wie sie in den Animationen zu sehen ist, kommt auf ca. 80kg.
Viele Grüße!
Very cool, but this would be simplified with some metal components.
Warum nimmst du kein Hartholz ?
Hey Daniel, Harholz ist mir zu teuer
Wait a minute. You made "small mistakes" while figuring out how to build the thing you're building? And then you have the gall to admit this in public? I thought all you RUclipsrs were born with all the knowledge and perfect mastery of every skill possible and imaginable in crafting masterpieces! You mean you're just like the rest of us? Somehow I'm going to have to figure out how to ignore that information while watching this video. I can't go around thinking you're not perfect or anything. :)
Too complicated and bulky.
This is essentially a work of art. Bravo, man.
