I finished my planer cart and thought I'd post some pics.
I'd been watching many different YouTubers post their mobile bench and stand ideas.
For my own design, I didn't want the lever sticking out too far. And, to lock it into place, I didn't want to add an extra pedal or holder that relies on springs or a bungee to move in and out of position to hold the lever in place.
I ended up combining a few approaches - the lever stays in the center to remain unengaged for the legs to stand on the floor. To raise the "flaps" to engage the casters, I move the lever to the one side to the integral notch cut into the bottom skirt.
The lever and "flap" have t-nuts in them to minimize wear. I used a combination of nylon washers, rubber fender washers and regular metal washers to keep everything in place.
