Thank you for watching this studio prep video on the DIY upgrade of my workbench with castors.
I’m an artist rather than someone who knows what they are doing with DIY - hence the World's ugliest worry. However, I thought I would attempt to record the projects I undertake to make my studio space more functional and have the gall to place them on KZitem. So, with no DIY nor video capture/editing experience whatsoever, brazenly with hammer in hand, I venture forth…
For this video I wanted to see if I could upgrade my current workbench (an old garden furniture table). I wanted to make the workbench:
• Rigid rather than rickety
• Have a flat top rather than the current uneven/concave one
• Have castors so I can move it easily around the space
• Have an inbuilt ‘fence’ to clamp against or push up to
• Have the same height as the surrounding built-in workbenches
The design idea for the castor system came directly from Stuart @ProperDIY - an engineering marvel as far as I’m concerned. Check out his Simple Retractable Casters for Workbench video. The other ideas are all more inspired by videos I have seen. My results, as always with my DIY, are more ‘rough and ready’ / ‘ugly but functional’ than others might like. However, for me the most important thing is that they do the job and help me when making / painting my artworks.
The confidence to undertake these studio prep endeavours was provided by excellent and definitely non-ugly working of Stuart @ProperDIY , Drew @FishersShop , Cam @BlacktailStudio , Carl @carlroge , Bob @Iliketomakestuff and Drew @DrewBuildsStuff All of them are extremely skilled craftsmen and makers and are absolutely well worth watching - their videos are fantastic! Thank you, guys, for providing such amazing inspiration!
As regards my artistic work, my plan is to upload videos each time I make a painting and I’m hoping that will be every couple of weeks. Or, at least every month.
