Here is a description of tool stands with a pedal operated caster extension & retraction system for my ShopSmith 10ER and my shop-built combination belt and disc sander. The quick caster extension system is a key part of my dual purpose workshop /garage. Pedal operated casters can be extended and locked down in seconds allowing the tool to be moved out of its parking stall. When the tool in working position, the casters cam be retracted in seconds and the tool lowered onto its base.
Hello Carl, thanks for the channel. You have great ideas and well thought out. I also have a 10 ER and your stand would work perfect in my small shop as the way it is now I really only use it horizontally. Too much stand in the way when vertical. Keep up the great work and hope more people tune in to see your great ideas.PS the miter stand is brilliant.
Brilliant!!! Thank you!!!
You are very ingenious! Thanks for the great videos. They will definitely help with smaller bases but I'm really struggling trying to figure out how to do the same idea over the base of a full size Shopsmilth 5, when it is down and used as a table saw..
Mr. Holmgren,
Your ideas are amazing, and I hope you sell a bunch of plans! But to be honest, you gave away the most important idea of this design in your preview video. So now we can just build it without buying the plans...
+Maybe Dave Thanks for the kudos. My dilemma is whether provide complete info with free plans and benefit solely from the ad revenues OR to sell plans. I'm trying to find middle ground by providing enough info to make the video useful and interesting yet offer additional information in plans that will make them helpful. Plans include drawings with measurements, a complete materials and cut list with measurements, access to an 18 minute unlisted video showing construction steps and a printable summary of the video. Plans sales have far exceeded our expectations so I think it's working. Special thanks to all who have purchased plans. ////Carl
Hi Carl, thank you for the Video really inspiring.
Please just give plan detail for the lever and pawl system....pay it forward. Thanks for the great idea.
J.O. Downloadable plans include full size drawings for the latch pedal and pawl assembly for both the Shopsmith stand and the belt/disc sander stand. ////Carl
Wow Carl! Bravissimo!!! complimenti! bye bye Italy (Turin)
Grazie per i complimenti. Ho visitato Torino.
Una meravigliosa città vecchia. ///Carl
Grazie mille
Yes FIAT Lingotto..
bye Marino
How do the casters stay down when the foot lever is pressed down? Wouldn't the weight of the tool just push the casters back up?
I was wondering how that works, too. He doesn't specifically show in one of his videos. Did you find a solution / explanation? To me it seems that the pedal has a hinge and gets stuck (with the top part of the pedal) at the "ceiling" of the the hole where the lever comes through.
How about a how to make video
