That's a great idea. What did you use, some type of locking caster from Amazon? With all the storage needed this is pretty neat!

If I needed a locking caster, I would look inside a hardware store.

That is sweet. I have thought of doing that for years but never got around to it.

Parts of the Lift Assist sit below the Bench Tubes so this custom bench cannot use it.
