Carl... 10 years later and your design is still the best on KZbin! I hope you're still enjoying working in your shop and coming up with great ideas. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas.

I left a comment 4 years ago about using one of these designs, ive now used them on nearly eberything in my workshop, oncliding my 150kg work bench, nack jere ahain now to see which design to use on an anvil stand, thanx again for the great designs

Ingenious

Thanks for your videos on the retracting casters. I was able to make a set for my home made router table I built 30 + years ago. Planning on a set for my bandsaw also one of these days.

Thank You For Sharing ! Excellent Presentation And Workmanship. Quite Impressive, Sir

Love the latch

😉 brillant thxs for the video exactly what i needed 😊

simple and genius

looks like the domain is dead...shame

Thanks for suche a nice video of great invention :)

Sir this is 2024 and your video just helped me out and saved lot of hard earned money and hassle. Thanks for your help and stay blessed

You sir, are absolute genius.

Thank you. Very informative.

Enjoyed! Sweet & clean. Love the yankee ingenuity on eliminating the unnecessary locking mechanism from the casters on hand. Harbor freight sells 'em with/without locking mechanisms. Ladder hoist tip, good to keep in mind...

Please Please Please take that lanyard off, its making me nervous.

Carl is a bada$$. Very good job!

Carl... are you there mate?

Carl thank you for your video on the shop smith. My wife’s grandfather gifted me his not long before he passed and recently I’ve decided to try my hand at making a living by starting a wood shop in my garage. My first project will be this base for the shop smith lathe. If you have any comments or suggestions I would be more than happy to listen as I admit that i haven’t worked with wood since I made a step stool in high school back in 1992.

Best idea for retractable casters! Wow!

It would have been nicer if you could show it practically

I just found this, bookcase and love the idea, and want to purchase the plans. I wish I could get these plans. Any thoughts from folks on how to do this, and support this individual in some form?

niiiiiiice Ty

Nice design, a lot of thought went in to this : )

Are these plans still available?

anyone have a set of plans the site doesnt seem to exist any longer?

As a person who's video game systems are now "vintage", I can only imagine what it must be like to have YOUR 10er be an antique :) I know you got it in the 70s but...

Hello Carl, thanks for this very clear demo. I would like to try this as I have quite a stack of broken blades. Can you reference the type of solder you are using, I find the world of solder and fluxes a bit bemusing as there are so many for welding, , bfrazing and soldering. Best wishes . Peter

I would like the plans to build your wheelbarrow but there is no easy way to get them.

Great awosome Job 👍🏻 👍🏻 LG Sam

Thank you sir ! That is the bevel- slot had been designed for the cartridge's housing .

👌

Wait what is she calling her??

Are these plans still available? The website is now defunct.

Brilliant.

So cool!

Can you make me a two wheel steer bike???

Too clever back wheel steer... 4:30

Nice work - very helpful!

Genius! Thank you for the tour of your shop and your caster systems. I'm going to implement the system you used under your wood lathe for my work. bench. Amazing workable simplicity.

Thank you for additional knowledge owning one of these machines!

Mr. Holmgren s a genius. I have purchased some of his plans in the past. He does a lot more than retractable castors.

What did you use to shape the ends of iron level arms? Love your videos and ideas!

This is what youtube could have been. Thanks rockler,festool, et al.

hi Carl i like your foot pedal design for casters .. I'm a pro wood worker for many years too .. but I have to tell ya , maybe 15 years ago a coworker had a long necklace like yours and it got caught up in a belt sander ... well the belt sander flew up to his face and knocked him out cold and yes it ground off some of his lips and nose .. luckily as he fell the belt sander came unplugged .. the lesson here is alway keep that kind of stuff tucked in your shirt .. i wouldnt want. to see any of your viewers to see this and think its a good idea ;)

Gave me somegood ideas . Thank you Carll for a nice video.

i have an older holiday rambler in Europe wich i renovate step by step ..i have to say Carl .. you did a fantastic job ..this motorhome looks awesome and a lot of ur personal engineering ideas are very practical indeed congratulations on this project ..amazing work indeed

Fantastic job.......excellent tool box, extremely well made. 👍👍👍👍👍

Ideal for storage.Thank you for showing this to us.

LOVE THIS!!!!!!! I have a Shopsmith Mark V and have fixed wheels on it now, but they have a big clunky design. I have been unable to come up with a better more efficient way of redesigning them. After watching this video I now am inspired to utilize your system, especially the one you have on your lathe. If I make a video of me constructing them, I will link to yours. Thank you for your inspiration.
