Machine cart with retracting casters
Posted: 10 Aug 2018, 18:39
Well, here goes. You all said you want to see something come out of my workshop now it's substantially complete.
I want to build a cart to take my mortice machine which weighs 47kg so the CoG will be a bit high on a small cart. I will try and make retractible casters to be able to move it from its stowed to working position.
I will also use the bottom of it to house my compressor, killing two birds with one stone by giving the compressor a home and providing low down weight.
I am also trying to recycle some really old well seasoned beech that has come out of an old dining table.
And I found some old adjustable feet from an old filing cabinet and some bright hardware from a previous job.
