Thanks for the kind comment, i bought the 6 casters actually in my local hardware store. Bars of aluminium (and other raw material) is cheapest for me on ebay. I got one bar 3cm x 1,5cm x 50cm and one 3cm x 2cm x 50cm. The shaft (that I finally used) is from ebay too, 8mm, steel. bearings (22-7-8 mm) were old rusty inline-skate-bearings. Wood also hardware store.
Great job. Always nice to see people doing a bit of home engineering.
I like this approach of retractable casters do you happen tp have links to buy the materials you bought for this buid?
thanks in advance
