Take a look at the NWY work table he did w/ the flip down casters.

Used that idea but adopted it to the base.
I posted pics a while ago - If I get a chance - Ill post them again.

where did you get the flip down casters?

I have the DVR stand at woodcraft.
I added a shelf to it and added 300 lbs of sand to the shelf - its solid

Also added flip down casters when I need to move it.
(I use a lever to lift it so the casters flip down)

It works great.

My outboard tool rest arrived today for my DVR. Tomorrow the DVR should
itself arrive.

I was thinking of using a really light weight sheet metal grizzly stand
as a temperary solution but now that I think of it it may not be strong
enough to support 180 pounds of weight.

Now I'm getting serious about thinking about a stand. How many are
using the sheetmetal stand like I've seen at woodcraft? How many have
constructed a stand from 2x4, 2x6, and 2x8 lumber like shown on the
technatool web page.

I could build the wooden stand in about an hour if it warms up enough to
work outside. Or I could make a pilgrimage to woodcraft and buy the
sheet metal stand (I need to go there anyways to get the correct insert
for my chuck).

One thing is I need to put casters or a portable base on the stand so I
can move it around and then secure it with blocks.

Any suggestions?
