How to Install Heavy Duty Leg Levelers
Вставка

- Need to level a cabinet or workbench? - try these:
Leveling kit (4pc) - amzn.to/3ynDR3V
Irwin 24" level - amzn.to/3xSSX0I
If your floor is uneven, then so are your work surfaces. Fortunately, it's easy to install heavy duty leveling legs to the base of any cabinet or workbench. All you really need is a screwdriver (or drill), a bubble level, and a set of 4 leveling legs.
I don't know what else I can write here; it's pretty much that easy. Crazy easy. Since you're still reading this, did you know I also design shirts and posters? Yeah, check it out:

They are used to cap the hole in the toe kick' "if you install under it" this way you don't loose anything small from the cabinet
the levelers are meant to go on the inside of the cabinet ,you drill holes right above the hex screw of the leveler and the caps plug the hole .its so you can adjust from the inside.
Ahh, so inside, under the floor/toe space of the cabinet, and the plug closes the hole. Makes sense for a kitchen cabinet. Thanks!
I need this for a desk I refurbished. Thanks, I will give it a go.
Simply outstanding!👍👍👍 just what i was looking fir👍👍

Great video
Thank you
I would not have thought of the shims either but I would’ve grabbed my small impact and put a hex bit in it to adjust the legs
Yeah, I'm sitting there cranking on this hex post that needs to come up almost a full inch, thinking "there's got to be a simpler way". Lo and behold...
How are these holding up after a couple years of use?
Pretty decent, actually. I mostly keep the workbench in one place,, but I've slid it around on uneven garage floor a few times with no issues. Occasionally something on the bench needs some hammering and everything stays where it should.
@@MrLower Nice! Thanks a lot, I'll buy some online to install on the table I just built, the flooring job in my room is atrocious.
Do these just help level the table top or do they also make the whole table /bench more sturdy
Well, in one sense, I'm propping up a work bench on 4 small stilts. They're heavy-duty, so I'm not worried about bending or breaking, but the feet are definitely much smaller surface area than the base of the bench.
In another sense, the floor of my garage is very ugly and cracked, so being able to level 4 points of contact as opposed to a flat rectangle of end-grain plywood makes the bench much more stable.
I loved how you made a "how-to" video without actually knowing how to do it. You should redo your video with better design and technic. Either that or maybe re-title this video to how-not-to install. PS beside the obvious stuff others already mentioned, why did you place pocket holes on the outside of your workstation? lol 🙈
Pocket holes on the inside of a plywood box run the risk of tearing out the mating edge, because the screws don't have much to bite into. If you were building a kitchen cabinet your pocket screws would be on the outside of the back panel, but that part would be hidden up against the wall - what you're looking at is basically the "back" of the cabinet. I was going to put some trim over to cover it, but it's just a little messy garage shop so aesthetics only go so far. As for the position of the levelers (which I assume you're referring to), I opted to have them on the outside to increase the overall footprint of the workbench to make it more stable under load. If I were using this for some kitchen cabinet then yeah, it makes sense to hide them underneath.
@@MrLower I think most cabinets won't have a 3/4" plywood for the back. Albeit, I can see why you'd want that feet to extend farther out as the butcher block top seems pretty heavy and hanging off way too far. I doubt that 2-3 inches gained will do much good though. If I were you, I'd push that top over to one side of the cabinet and mount a leg or two on the other side. It would properly fix the toppling concern and provide a favorable workspace to sit under. I'd probably add a pair of wheels to the heavy end so the "station" could be easily "moved" around. Anyways, just think aloud... figuratively of course. You do you. Cheers~ 😎
