Unique idea from a car jack! Everyone will want to repeat this!

[@menscraft7985]

Hello folks, I found an old car jack in my garage and decided to put it to good use. What do you think about this idea?

[@vfrflying-machine7641]

Brilliant! This is the best idea I’ve seen for retractable landing gear on a workbench. This could be applied on a large kitchen island that requires mobility. Awesome work and creativity!

[@spamcatcherforholger]

Pretty good work and a cool idea. But why don’t you use a cordless drill to drive the car jack?

[@tomasfinkelman]

Briljant and well done

[@pjdruz5636]

I think the video shows a very interesting and innovative way of dealing with the problem of having a mobile desk, table, workbench, etc... For my purpose, casters work well, I installed them underneath the legs so that they do not protrude, but everybody has different requirements and having the possibility shown in the video is a good option.

[@carmichaelmoritz8662]

This is what happens when people have too much energy lol.

[@BobAdams-bv3ys]

Never ever wear gloves while operating a bench grinder ,The danger is that the tips of the glove can easerly be dragged into the small gap between the wheel and the stop along with your hand and that tends to be a very nasty accident requiring an ambulance

[@menscraft7985]

Thanks for the vital advice! I will listen to any criticism about protection and safety! It is important for me to know how to protect myself while working! Thank you!

[@KTMr-sw7iz]

I’m wearing gloves period

Gloves are dangerous with any machinery I have never used Gloves it's with hot metal I'm 80 why would anyone need Gloves to work in a work shop

[@jackbarrie6007]

​@menscraft7985 if your Gloves get trapped in machinery you can loose a finger that's not safety I doubt if you use many power tools that will have a cutting blade

[@mikeenos4040]

Nice idea and craftsmanship.. But easier to buy a table with locking casters..

[@daltonx6177]

My thoughts exactly ! 👍

[@goomahead3886]

I bought 4 x hd locking casters from ebay and installed them on my 2.4m x 1.2m lure-making bench. I move it anywhere on the verandah to get in or or out of a breeze. The video was awesome but required days to manufacture.

[@pieteri.duplessis]

Nifty idea and it works quite well too. 10/10

[@Moist_yet_Crispy]

Honestly I was second guessing you in the beginning but now. 👏👏👏 Bravo! A fantastic project. Could you weld a bit onto the crank mechanism so that you can use your drill to flip the wheels quickly. It'll save a lot of time in the long run if you use the table a lot. Subscribed

[@menscraft7985]

Thank you for appreciating my work! I agree that your idea of ​​using a drill is very useful, but I have a small problem with the drill, it’s almost broken, when I have the opportunity I’ll update it and then I’ll use your idea! Thanks again!

I'm glad that I jumped to see the end result before I didn't waste my time on the how to.

Yep

[@menscraft7985]

For me, the main thing is that you saw the result, you don’t have to watch the manufacturing process) You’re a fast guy, so just rewind to the end

[@Goodvibes-Adventures]

😂. I just bought 4 spring loaded adjustable wheels that slide up. Took 10 minutes to install 😅

[@pjdruz5636]

Same here. 20 dollars for 4 caster wheels. That was 10 years ago and it still works perfectly.

[@SamueleMotta]

Inoltre non hai tutto il meccanismo sotto al tavolo che ti impedisce di mettere dei ripiani o dei cassetti

[@menscraft7985]

I also have these, and I can also install them in 10 minutes, but it really annoys me that they protrude beyond the dimensions of the table, and I constantly cling to them with my shoes

[@menscraft7985]

In the future, I will put drawers in the desk and a jack will not interfere with this, but tripping over protruding wheels is not my taste)))

[@Goodvibes-Adventures]

@menscraft7985 I set the wheels about 4" underneath...Small 2" heavy duty casters

[@neildransfield5966]

Yep! Meanwhile I moved fifteen work benches and associated mechanised equipment, rearranging the workshop layout with five minutes of modification to a large bag trolley. 🤷🏻

[@timpresley4811]

Normally I don't watch vids that don't tell what it's about in the title, but I had some time to kill. I've been thinking along the lines of something like this for my welding table (almost 300 lbs.) I hadn't thought about using an old scissor jack to work it. Very good 👍👍👍

[@PlatinumRatio]

Interesting engineering, thx

[@CheeD-w2v]

That is so cool. How much does that cost?

[@zeriousvolt1245]

Nope, I don't want to repeat that, especially as it is not the same thing as the thumbnail.

[@Pascalore]

Shopsmith did this years ago with a simple cam on two sets of wheels. A bit too elaborate for me but some may get some use out of it.

[@earlhildebran1733]

Cool invention.

[@UppsalaSal]

I won’t have a need for this in my shop but I liked watching the techniques and your approach to solving the problem.

[@menscraft7985]

Thank you for your feedback about my work! I agree we are all different and not everyone needs this particular idea!

[@thekingsilverado3266]

Years and years ago I bought a kit exactly like that from a local lumber yard called Cramers Lumber in Pennargyl Pa. You could buy just the kit or buy it with the lumber to make work tables and work benches but the lumber in their kits was all scrap Spruce that really hard crap like some of the cheaper Hemlock. They had to make and cut the boards and gave ya instructions with their kit. There was a huge blow up with em when I built my new home I ordered the lumber be Pressure Treated lumber because I was only going to build and use one work bench outside. They delivered the kit with the cheap stuff and I really lost a gasket. Turns out they removed both kits from my bill because I not only bought only bought lumber for my house from em I was a builder and when stuff out that way I always used them 4 lumber. 35 years later I still have both work benches. That is nice touch being able to move the work bench to clean up under it is a really nice touch..

[@tac73]

True genius!

[@Brad-sh2wn]

I kept thinking over and over again. What is it never figured it out until he put the wheels on. Wow.

[@haroldwestrich3312]

Thank you for the video! WOW you do great work! However; I think you could have saved a lot of time and effort by removing the jack and install a straight rod that will lock into place when pushed by hand Down along the connecting rod and then lift the table by pulling it up with your hand to a position parallel to the leg. With a little lock mechanism there as well. Sorry; it just don't take the power of a screw jack to lift even a heavier table. Great work though!

[@DelDeschamps]

Vert clever. 👍

[@1bigapple2]

Nice job, But….you could accomplish the same thing by making a simple over-centering hand lever, which would be faster, simpler and cheaper.

[@menscraft7985]

I have already made a manual lever, but it has its drawbacks, I didn’t like how it works, perhaps I didn’t make the best version of a manual lever, but overall I am completely satisfied with my version with a jack. The price of a Chinese jack in our country is approximately 10-15 dollars.

[@dpsc59]

awesome👍

[@menscraft7985]

[@Slking507]

That is the only thing I have ever seen these jacks be good at.

[@menscraft7985]

[@airdriver1460]

Call me crazy but I'd have done something dumb like gone to Lowe's and bought 4 locking casters and screwed them to the bottom of something I bought at Goodwill. I guess what I mean is when, oh when will I learn and stop watching these things?

[@DKCC-x1x]

[@musicauthority674]

This was a little deceiving because it wasn't the same as the illustration in the thumbnail. but it turned out to be a roll around saw table and a built in brake.

[@Mike-ox3bv]

Exactly. Not worth watching for me. No Thanks

[@yestotruth794]

Creative, however 4 heavy caster wheels with foot locks on each caster would've done the job in way less time & more practical.

[@sirreus3003]

True that!😂

[@menscraft7985]

The wheels are not stable and reliable, my last table was on wheels, this is not practical, in my opinion the table should be on the floor, this is stable

[@yestotruth794]

@@menscraft7985 Really? mate I worked in the building industry for over 40 years & as creative your idea is, it may suit you. I've worked on self assembling scaffolding that goes up & above 20 + metres that use self locking wheels never had an issue with it being unstable & for a simple work bench caster lock wheels is no different. Load your bench up with 20 to 50 kilograms of work tools & see how practical it is trying to go from stationary to mobile. All if not most benches are made stationary for stability the concept of making them mobile are for garage mechanics, auto repairs etc..

[@msumungo]

Landing gear for workbenches :) I have a very heavy workbench (about 500 kilos plus all the tools in and on it). If I just put wheels on it, the weight of the table will press the wheels flat. Retractable "landing gear" would actually work well for my workbench.

[@tymz-r-achangin]

Clever design and good craftsmanship but not sure why all of that needs gone through. I mean how often is a person having to move a work bench.

[@TheHoohokkim]

fix four caster wheels with brakes, much easier

[@menscraft7985]

I don’t agree, the wheels are not reliable and stable; We haven’t yet come up with a better option than a table right on the floor! I don't like the option with adjustable wheels because the wheels protrude beyond the table.

[@Screw_This]

I like this idea but think it would only be worth it for very heavy loads. There are simpler solutions for light loads. It should be fail-safe, in that once the wheels are fully extended, if the linkage is compromised, the load doesn’t collapse to the floor. This can be accomplished by having the rotation go over-center, before hitting an adequate physical stop, preventing further rotation.

[@bloomsaddis8928]

Kick down wheels do exactly the same for probably a lot less money and effort! Clever though!

[@joewoodchuck3824]

It's overkill, but still moderately useful. I wonder why he dislikes using washers especially on the wood parts.

a cordless drill with a socket would be quicker than the cut off ring spanner!!??

[@menscraft7985]

You are absolutely right! I'm embarrassed, but I only had one DeWalt cordless drill for this project and it was already almost broken, so this table was too heavy for it (but as soon as I can, I will buy a new cordless drill and then take the advice! Thanks!
