I remember a Norm special on a plywood worktable used in the TV studio
that had a nice way of locking in some casters to allow the table to
roll. If I recall, there were some hinged braces that dropped down to
lock the casters in place. Each end of the table had these braces
hinged on a leg and tied together with a piece of rope. In action one
would raise the table and that would release the braces to drop down
under gravity. This would then lock the casters which were attached to
a piece of plywood that ran front to back and pivoted somehow. To allow
the table to be stationary you simply pulled the braces out using the
rope and moved the casters up and away. Only thing is I cannot find the
plans on the NYW site, nor a reference to the table. Anyone remember
this and how the lock worked?


I have captured all the episodes on DVD. I'll take a screen shot of
one frame showing the construction and post it on a.b.p.w.
CASTERS

FWIW,
