- This video is a detailed 'how to video" showing an alternate method I used for attaching for casters to my workbench. I had do attach them a different way because I didn’t plan for them in my design. While I used a Rockler Workbench Caster Set for this video what I did should work for most brands. What I did may be very helpful to anyone who wants to retrofit a workbench with casters or even for those who wish to avoid the issue I had with my bench.
I provide detailed instructions on what I did and why. Everything is shown visually and explained in depth. Toward the end of the video I show examples of other styles of workbenches and how they could be retrofitted for casters in a similar way. Those who have other styles of workbenches may benefit from this added content.

I’m going to try this.
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to show us how it was done. Appreciated.
Howard, that’s super. The main reason I created my CZcams channel was to help others. I hope it works for you.
thanks for your insight
That worked out great!
Thanks. I’m going to enjoy having casters on my workbench.
Love the additional aluminium & walnut bar. All my machines are on casters. Well done Don
Thanks. It’s much better raising two legs at a time rather than just one. I think it will also help prevent the workbench from racking over time.
Yes some “Magic Moves” in Keynote. 😁 Hope to use it more in the further.
Great animation! Would I be wrong in surmising a little Apple motion was used?
I added castors to my bench but did not got far enough to have them life the table...the table is just permanently on wheels. That would have been a nice touch to mine!
Don, do you think the aluminum is needed if I used a piece of oak? Just wondering because I have those same casters on my router table and that would be a nice touch but I cannot for the life of me believe that the aluminum adds any strength to the walnut. Was the walnut an afterthought?
Darth, I used the aluminum to provide a way to attach the bar to the casters and yes, because of the shape of the aluminum I used, I think it ads strength. Without the aluminum the walnut piece would need to be quite a bit thicker.
