    Three Mobile Bases

    First, bandsaw. Being top heavy, I wanted to increase the size of the existing base. Done a long time ago, works, tiny wheels need clean floor, garage sale ratchet stays on the lift bolt which should be as course as a big clamp.

    Drum sander:
    Hours and hours to build but works great. 4" medical equipment wheels on a shaft that swings down. Handle lever toggles past center in down position. Straight axle and fixed wheels on other end.

    Table saw:
    Shopping cart casters, handle toggles past center in down position. Parallel to casters are screw feet on original base to keep from rocking on un-even floors. Rolls like a shopping cart (what else).

    Very creative. You win the prize for scrounging casters
