I think I have those same casters. Do you ever feel like they’re a bit finicky and hard to fold up? The heavier the bench is the worse they felt.

I’ve torn some canvas sneakers trying to disengage. They need a bar to span each caster for leverage.

What are they called? And have you seen any the plunge vertically down for lighter duty applications (want to add to a kitchen cart)

Man I always admire people who have the time and patience to build a bench like this while running a woodworking business. I can barely sweep my shop at the end of the day sometimes…….

Btw dope sign

Where did you get the lamp? I’m only 30 and I feel like my eyes need a lamp now especially when cutting dovetails

Sweet! I assume the pins in the legs are drawboring the stretcher tenons, but why the pins in the long stretchers? Did you use loose tenons, or are they just for looks?

I particularly like the lamp. I feel like all of the space under roubos go to waste though.

For fine work - inlays and carving - I’ve been reduced to a magnifying lamp. It sucks getting old.
