You should install all 4 LOCKABLE swivel casters. It is so freaking obvious!
A plate under the vice is needed. That sheet metal is thin and will deform
I'd put a wooden top on the toolbox, then mount the vice to that. Put a thin filler piece in first to take up the void where the rolled steel lip of the box sticks up, then some 3/4 ply on top of that. You could leave a 1" or so overhand all the way around. This will give you a sturdier mount for your vice, and also a proper little workbench as well.
A wooden board on top would make a better work surface.
Arthur Spooner never stops inventing!!
Had to come in because I thought Jerry Stiller was reincarnated 😂
i loved all the tips, except the rolling over the paint-job on the toolbox on bare concrete........
A tip for you sir, before mounting the vise, sand off the paint where the vice is seated so is a good metal to metal contact, so you can clamp the ground for your welder to the cart itself making anything in the vice now weldable.
Give the wheels to your neighbor. :-)
I bought the new 26 inch top and bottom tool rolling cart from craftsman and am very dissatisfied with the rickitty top heavy feeling Im getting from it. Its because the wheels make it unsteady even after they are locked in place. And I like your idea about changing or updating to a better wheel. Sad I have to do that because I paid top money for top quality. Craftsman has really gone downwards in my opinion.
Personally, I would avoid using four swivel castor's. It may sound like a good idea for maneuverability but from personal experience once the chest gets bogged down with weight it becomes harder to turn and steer. Instead of fighting with two swivels, then there's four to contend with. Also, if the floor isn't completely level, it is more prone to drifting because it has no in line tracking.
We kept some old fixed plastic wheels (2 with lock latches) from some forgotten thing for years out in the sheds. One day I got the idea to fix them to the bottom of a tall bookcase. That enables it to be pulled (gently) away from the wall every few months for dusting the skirtings. Take the books off, and it's a LOT easier to move elsewhere altogether. So, in 'custom' situations and/or for occasional necessary work that such items have the potential to make easier, the justification for 'sparing' cheap but usable stuff does kick in.
Genius idea for removing the hindge on the case. Was having this exact issue! Thank you!
Seriously the socket hack, how have I not thought of that?! Thank you, will definitely be using that one.
When I worked in a factory, maintenance workers would get a 3/8 inch of steel plate and cut it down to fit top. If they had a vice, they would mark holes in each corner, cut off the bolt head and weld four bolts to the steel plate. They had a great work bench.
Wally-world has magnetic trays and holders for the side of the cart. There's one for holding cans (WD-69, Liquid Wench, etc), one for holding skew drivers upright, and there is one that's just a simple tray to put extra Ikea parts into. Oh, there is also one that's a paper towel holder. The casters are a GREAT idea. I will be doing that as soon as I can empty my cabinet.
Love the new intro today. Yep tool boxes on wheels always test my patience.
I like " the inexpensive tool store, you know which one it is, probably"
Gotta love Charlie! He is the best!
