This video describes a foot-operated system of easily extended and retracted casters for my power tools. My shop is in a 2 & 1/2 car garage. When our two cars are parked inside, all tools must be stowed against the walls. With cars outside, the garage becomes my shop and when I want to use a tool, I can move it away from the wall, as necessary, in seconds. Thank you for your interest; please subscribe.

Thank you so much for this. Men like you are what we need more of.

This is a lot more useful than the majority of retractable caster videos which self-indulgently show some yahoo sawing and screwing for 10 or 15 minutes. Thanks.

Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) is something we don’t do these days. Too many people over-engineer their designs but these are simple and elegant (definitely not stupid). Kudos sir. I will be copying them for my new router table.

This is the best video I've seen in a long time. These castor levers are better than castor locks, which don't give you a stable base and only prevent a cart from rolling away.

Well, I guess I'm done watching retractable casters videos. This is the BEST one, hands down :-) Excellent system -- congratulations. Both the foot-activated and hand-activated versions are incredibly practical and simple.

I have to keep rewatching your videos so I can figure it all out. I like how you modified each one for the specific tool and the individual need. Bravo! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

When I served my Carpentry Apprenticeship, I wisely (in hindsight) chose to work with the older guys on site. They were in their 60's and were practical blokes just like you. They showed me shortcuts and skills that they had learned over the previous decades. I look back now and treasure those times and greatly appreciate the knowledge that they shared, again . . . just like you.
