BB1, the wheels make it very easy to move. Definitely a must have in my crowded shop. With concrete floors I could slowly slide it but the casters make it a one-handed operation. These castors are from Peachtree (Fulton I think) with a spring loaded mounting bracket that allows me to remove/replace them without fiddling with a pin like the others have. They do not get in the way but this way I can add another set of mounting brackets to my 400lb lathe when I need to move it around. I bought the extra brackets but have not added them to the lathe yet.
Paul, It is placed in my shop where it is pretty much the first thing I see when I go out to the shop. It is still new enough that I still stop and smile each time I walk in there.
Ryan, I drew up my own version in Sketchup because Schwartz's bench design is 8' long which would probably require something to leave the shop for it to fit. There is nothing fancy about the my drawing, I did this to figure out the exact dimensions for all of the parts, but I will gladly share them with if anyone is interested. If nothing else, it might save some time designing your own version.
