Single-Action Retracting Casters for a Mobile Welding Table

[@jerrybobteasdale]

That flat, holey tabletop is niiiiice. I've never had that luxury. For me, it's concrete, kneepads, clamps, and careful measuring, , tack it, beat on it, and re-measuring.

[@donaldoehl7690]

You gotta work with the tools you have not the ones you wish you had!

[@alexgonzalez2338]

You wanted 20,000? now you have 120,000 subscribers ! Great job!

[@YankeeDave75B2O]

When I watched it, it was at 144,000! Look out, Taylor Swift!

[@jimrow6704]

Your video skills are on another level!! Awesome! Hope to see you reach 1M subscribers.

[@Lagittaja]

That's just genius. Didn't know where you were going with this at first but as I saw the hinges and then the bearings it all came clear. Nice design.

[@3006gage]

Your doing a great job and well done on the camera work sir

[@MrBigMalT]

Really clever. I’m a wood guy not a metal guy, but it was brilliant to see that come together. Same design but with a wooden bench top would be great in a woodwork shop :)

[@bluehorseshoe7171]

This could just be my new favorite YT channel.

[@boots7859]

OK, honestly been waiting for something like this. Everyone else is all about buying $50-75 castors, for their workshop table? There are a couple of smaller channels where they either made their own, or have a nifty spring loaded one made from wood. However this is a great example of working from first principles, IIRC as they say in the UK. You trade off a little internal space for the benefit of not having casters/feet sticking out from the table trip hazards. And, it look relatively newbie friendly to build. Subbing to your channel just because you don't monologue, don't have stupid music, and primarily because I expect the rest of your video's to be just as unique yet attainable by this amateur.

[@SimonHollandfilms]

nice film and good table build

[@ADHDbuilt]

That's an awesome way of doing it. But the thing I like best is the holes in the table top, would save so much time!

[@tkjvsmith227]

I think the best complement is that I built it! I did add one more component to it though - a removable wooden top for woodworking assembly. You also made me feel better in my welding skills not being very attractive after viewing your welds.

[@WesleyTreat]

I made the same top. 👍‍‍ Whenever you see a lighter colored benchtop, that's the welding table underneath.

[@arnaudnieuwoudt5211]

Great video. Great quality, I can see perfectly what you are doing. You obviously put in effort with your videos.

[@franklin732]

I really liked your camera work (in addition to your build). All the different shots made it very entertaining

[@Derickhart]

The clamps for your table are brilliant

[@WesleyTreat]

Got a video on those coming soon. Thanks!

[@jimmydiresta]

great mechanism

[@operator8014]

jimmydiresta - eatyour heart out Jimmy! ;D

[@dougtisdale3262]

Where did you get your welding table top from? Your videos are really cool! (From a n 82 year young putter er)

[@104littleal6]

It's a CertiFlat table found here: weldtables.com/#_l_q0

More than Excellence .! I'm so Glad U finally started sharing Ur precious creative side with all of us.! Thank U so Much ..!! U will soon reach your goals here .! Just keep doing it , don't procrastinate , It will be Beautiful to have U in the Family of youtubers and creators Friends .

[@pablogorgal260]

Amazing mechanism, a very simple and elegant way to solve the problem, great job!

[@g.fortin3228]

This is by far the best mobile base that I have seen made ! VERY good work !! I am going to alter the design just slightly so that it will fit in between my contractor saw base legs but keep to your winning design elements meaning bearings and the cuts/welds. and Thank You !

[@jesselejarzar5114]

Super simple yet masterful, this has got to be the best way I've seen to do this yet.

[@UrosRodic]

I have built mine yesturday... works like a charm... thank you for inspiration... :) much respect...

[@stephenfairfield1071]

beautiful, simple design and execution. Excellent for the shop that is always "too small". thanks.

[@operator8014]

Looks like you took a page out of This Old Tonys school of gorgeously and meticulously edited videos! Absolutely great work sir!

[@jimmytvfclassic]

I love all your work Wesley! Neat working, humble, you don't hide if you mess it, friendly and original, you have your "touch" in everything you make! Keep it up!! Cheers from Barcelona!

[@thatoldbob7956]

Very good idea. I have no room for it. Keep it up Bob

[@SJG-96]

Excellent work, Excellent idea, and you are very well organized, I like the way you plan your project. Thanks for your video. Serge, Surrey, BC, Canada

[@JeepITguy]

This product looks exactly like what I have been needing in my small home shop. The wheel hack is quite handy as well!

[@markgrevatt4867]

What a great welding table. Love the wheels lifting mechanism

[@alessandrosuppini943]

Well, what can I say apart from… that’s a real treat! 😄 Well done buddy, awesome build with a snug fit for the top

[@quinn860]

Love the idea of using bolts as stoppers on the table and love the clamps welded to the bolts great idea, might do that in the future myself

[@ceeF4]

Always look forward to being notified of a new Wesley Treat video,a seriously underrated and under watched channel!! Great vid,look forward to the locking mechanisim upload 👏👍

[@tinycuisine6544]

Hey there! First time visitor and glad to see you accomplished your goal of subscribers already. Liked your video, no nonsense, close ups of of tools in action. Althought I wouldn't necessarily build this particular mechanism, I've learned a few things watching. Subscribed! Thanks

[@johnbyrne1400]

great table, really like the idea for holding down parts as you weld them

[@redneckskiing5193]

Thank you very much for the idea! I made a cart for my Evolution chop saw. Works great! 👍

[@magnus0320]

Very elegant. I am going to copy this.

[@edstimator1]

That was a nice build. I would put some kind of lead screw mechanism on the lever to raise and lower it , but so far, a really solid design.

[@jakeeverett9932]

this just simplified an idea of mine i was going to use on my 250lb vise table, thank you!

[@chrisosh9574]

I can't believe you only have 17 thousand followers you do a lot of interesting and varied things. I worked for a gymequipment manufacturer in London in the early '90s and we made some mobile folding basket ball hoops for a college, they had screwjacks to fold and raise the hoop and almost exactly the system you have used for the castors, to lock them down we had a latch like and old fashioned gate latch. It pivoted into a slot in the leg with a spring behind it, on the outside of the leg was a bolt that slid down and pivoted the latch into the leg until the pedal was above the latch. not sure if that description makes sense but I'm sure you have an idea of what to do anyway. Nice table, I want one.

[@adambergendorff2702]

Great video, your use of the bearings must have made a huge difference in lifting the table!

[@brianlane1491]

Brilliant design 👍👍👍👍

[@andrewiannello6548]

Great idea mate, thanks for sharing it. The internal castor design was exactly what I was searching for. The castors are cheaper not having a brake on them bonus. Im looking to create that system over 2.4 metres with 6 castors.

[@Timboykee]

Awesome. Subscribed. Totally sold on a certiflat table and cooking up these legs for it.

[@zinterforever]

Wonderfull mech idea. Great job!

[@bobs12andahalf2]

Great build and beautiful video. Camera and lighting are fantastic.

[@PJGalati]

Wesley, I love this build! I have something of a...fascination? Addiction? Obsession? With retracting or locking wheel systems for tables and carts. I think this is one of the least complicated and most stable ones I have seen to date. I may be borrowing this in the near future, I will hopefully be moving my shop next year and that will lead to several shop improvement videos. :P

[@drengr2759]

I need a much bigger welding table, but that design could be scaled up with a few mods. Brilliant design, good video production, entertaining, and educational. I had to subscribe after seeing this.

[@StaceMacGyver]

Great ideia! Awesome!!! It's just I need! Very very thankful! I'm your new fan!

[@darty4r5]

thanks for the idea ive been looking for something just like this to do on my big barrel bar bq, shes heavy!...........its a pain to move it on 2 wheels like a wheel barrow, this kicked me in the right direction. thanks! im subscribed

[@Spetet]

Good camera / editing. Moves along and stays interesting.

[@andrewbieger5004]

Awesome build. You just created the MFT variant for welders. The retractable casters really are the trick. Toss on a sheet of plywood on top and you also have a workbench for woodworking or other non- welding items. I don't even weld, but I gotta have one!

[@SJG-96]

Great design, I could apply to my heavy 8 foot workbench when fully loaded ( 500 lb approx) Thanks for your video. Serge

[@TheEveryMaker]

I've been thinking of doing something like this on a woodworking workbench. I have a small shop and this would be awesome to have something I could move around, but is stable. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@WesleyTreat]

I have a cart planned with a similar mechanism. Stay tuned!

[@MedicDillahunty]

That is a brilliant design!

[@moustick2025]

Congratulation for your design it is so simple and so ingenious. Keep your good work. I like the funny blooper you keep in your video, we feel more the same level.

[@Vulcano200]

You are a Master!!! Congratulations!!!

[@minouche49]

Très bien pour une petite table, et simple de conception. 👌

[@milwaukeemetro]

I binge-watched every one of your videos in one night. Great stuff!

[@donfillenworth1721]

Genius design. Thanks for sharing.

[@davidjames1007]

Brilliant idea sir.

[@barrb6134]

GREAT Table!! Nice Job!

[@I_Waste_Food]

Great idea! I’m making this on a 5x3 work table. Weights about 400 lbs.

[@alexrodru]

Thanks Wesley... You gave me a better idea

[@laserfalcon]

Love the awesome table

[@bruced1429]

wonderful job, and design, I do most of my welding outside and this has me thinking on my next bench.

[@lucianopep]

L'americani so' forti!😊😊 Grande progetto !!! Complimenti!

[@ponkkaa]

Very clever. I need something like this for my monster table saw.

[@bobomonkey702]

Looking forward to part two

[@sarrel48]

Now that's thinking outside of the box, I don't know about anyone else I never seen that done before

[@smithrobinson6180]

That is a solid piece of work 👏 👌

[@MIgardener]

Super cool! Love the design.

[@vigilantobserver8389]

Thank you for the video! Very clever, I've subscribed! This adaptation is the best idea I've seen, thus far. I'm new to welding and am having trouble maneuvering my welding cart in confined areas. So, I'd like to adapt a retractable caster(s) for the rear fixed wheel section of the cart.

[@kjellski]

Nice build, nice execution, great cuts and sweet editing! :) Thanks for sharing man!

[@F35_JSF]

Sweet design

[@toky1337]

Oh my gosh! I was just trying to figure out how to do something just like this! Great idea!

[@ltnthacker]

Nice Job.

[@deltajohnny]

Awesome design and execution!! 👏👏👏👏

[@rustybenz4532]

Very nice , I love the idea a bit long winded but still great and I see you have 20k plus subs , but all in all brilliant work mate , have a nice one

[@MR-cg9lw]

Nice work!

[@Jaxon-db1ku]

The first video I've watched of yours and I am loving it already, I love seeing the whole concept or build without chatter every 10 seconds. instant sub from me.

[@northatlantic2723]

Clever mechanism. Subscribed!

[@Barakabkk]

very nice.... will make one just like that

[@calornix2215]

Pretty cool and straight design. I'll try to adopt it for my wooden moveable benches without welding :-)

[@KoenBrader]

Awesome idea

[@jonivan1014]

Pretty Slick! Thx for the idea, I may have to use this one...

[@i-photograf]

Очень интересное решение! Получил удовольствие от просмотра. Когда дойдёт дело до сварочного стола подумаю и об этом. Лайк и подписка
