Add casters to a Kobalt work bench (Part 1) - This should work for a work bench, tool cart or table

- I bought a Kobalt tool cart that only has the steel legs that set on the floor. There is no easy way to move it around my garage. With space at a premium having larger items on casters is a big plus. This video shows one method to add an angle iron frame around the perimeter of the legs so casters can be bolted on only using four items that were needed to be purchased (along with free angle iron - watch to see where to obtain NO COST angle iron) will get the upgrade done without a lot of work.
Items that were bought -
The corner brackets that are large and predrilled with all the holes 4 needed from Amazon. Cost $33. LINK: www.amazon.com...
Casters - 2 inch diameter with good quality to handle the weight 4 needed from Amazon. Cost $17. LINK: www.amazon.com...
M10 X 20mm length - black Alan head bolts 16 needed from Amazon. Cost $12. LINK: www.amazon.com...
M10 black, flanged, serrated nuts 16 needed from Amazon. Cost $8.50. LINK: www.amazon.com...
I will probably
Dang. I just put a perfectly good set of bedrails in the recycling, literally yesterday. I'm sure I could have found a better use for them.
Thanks for sharing the video though. I'm sure at some point I'll end up copying this, just like I've copied many of your x300 mods.
Thank you. Angle iron is something I keep around as I find uses for it every so often. I'll get back to X300 stuff. We are in a heat wave right now and tearing the bike apart isn't going to happen just yet.
@@trekOCLVone haha. I'm in West Palm Beach Florida. I know how the heat can back burner many an outdoor project. Been putting off my bikes oil change for a month now. It's a good thing it's been too hot to ride much.
You're an interesting guy though, so I'll tend to give whatever you put out there a chance, bike related or not.
@@papertiger795 Thank you for your compliments. I'm educated in electrical/electronic engineering. But I've been having fun with projects that are mostly mechanical. It has been said that mechanics that you can see is easier to understand, rather than electronics that you see but can't experience firsthand what it is capable of.
@@trekOCLVone I certainly agree with that last statement... I'm educated at UA-cam university, and have done some trial and error tinkering here and there. With some success. Anything electrical still has me biting my fingernails with anxiety though.
