Video

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.

I would like to get the plans for the shopsmith stand , casters assembly , and outboard end stand .

Thank You !

Great job !! 🤗

The design is great! But the freehand dado cuts with no fence and leaning to look over it is just a nightmare! I'm sure you've been doing this a long time, but you're very lucky that didn't go south.

WOODWORKING - Retractable Casters for Workbench

Mr. Holgrem, I would like to buy your plans but cannot access them through the links provided. Do you or any viewers have suggestions? Thank you.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love your shop! I inherited my Dad's 10ER, and I look forward to learning more about how to use all of the functions it will do... He toaght me some basics from childhood on, and I always enjoyed woodworking with him. I am sure your channel will be a big help.

Love the simplicity of operation, I don’t need to bend, switch levers, add blocks. You have made life in the shop so much easier, convenient, and opened up the work space. Your à champion.

Hi Carl I'm currently working on setting up my 10er as a dedicated drill press but unfortunately when I got the setup it was missing the drill chuck I'm having a tough time finding suitable replacement any thoughts or advice on replacement parts or where to find original drill chuck Thank you hope to hear from you

Are the plans still available, as the website does not look to be working anymore?

I've been using my Central Machinery/Harbor Freight bandsaw for over 30 years and love it! It looks like they've made a few improvements, the tension guide (mine doesn't have one other than the scratch marks I've made), the dust collector etc... what it lacks is a way to attach a light to the frame or somewher for good illumination! I usually have to hold a flashlight in my mouth for that! I see what you've done, the light bulb in a can screwed to the upper wheel cover... that's what I'm going to do today!! 👍

Thanks Carl, I had never welded by blades. What a waist of money.

Nice work

You rock, Sir! So efficient. No obstacles for your feet. Please, although it seems obvious, your approach to having the drafting plans clamped above your chop saw! At least that is what it looks lik but the resolution isn't sharp enough to really see what you did. Keep on doing this. Newbies need this kind of advice really badly. I don't know about you, but I grew up in a woodshop, No kids get that anymore. Peace and goodwill! 🖖

These are ingenious!! I'm so impressed. I have a jointer very similar to this one, yet I think it's older. A 1948 delta. Thanks for the idea, I'm on it!!

Hey, you’re just like me, the process is not perfect but the result is! I bet you’ve been at it longer than the other you tubers have been alive.
