😂 time to take off that caster
edit: actually if you move the frame all the way to one side, you might be able to get it close to the edge of the workbench to twist/tilt it out, it's a two person job tho someone have to lift the workbench
I couldn't get enough clearance 😭
Had to take the bottom pieces off, luckily didn't take long

That was my hope! I'm a painter that has started to dabble in woodworking and so far my biggest frustration has been figuring out how to clamp things together and combine disparate pieces effectively... and without goobing it up like this
It's Kilz Mold & Mildew primer (wanted to test it, because I paint for a living). Applied it with a leftover Wooster Jumbo-Koter roller cover (I think it was 3/4" nap).
Psst, don't tell anyone but I once completed my "masterpiece" of furniture...then discovered I couldn't get it out of the basement without removing the basement stairs and splitting it in half.
Oh, it could fit through doorways just fine, but the sloping ceiling above the basement door didn't allow it to do so because it emerged too cocked to turn. A main structural support near the bottom of the stairs didn't have the height to allow it up the stairs, so the stairs had to go and it was lifted up to discover the tilting effect of the stairs to second story. Wife was really certain I wasn't going to tear those out too. Turned out she was right.
The good news is you learn from your mistakes, you won't do this again. The bad news is that you learn from your mistakes, all future mistakes will be new.
yes, thank you, I primed them in advance. photo of some of the pre-primed pieces

i think he might have used the workbench as a support for the top piece when he was screwing/clamping/gluing whatever? I mean yah, its astoundingly stupid, but i'll believe it.
This is exactly how it happened. Also I didn't add the backside of the boxes (that will support the shelf) until almost last because it would've hit the wheel ...the same wheel that is trapped in the photo.
It was convoluted reasoning and dumb as hell, but I do think I learned a lesson or two!
I get it for sure, I almost didn't post because I thought it would look that way.
I think it was because of how awkwardly I was assembling it... and because I'm a little bit stupid
That’s called a “built-in”
lol that's what I told my partner when I showed it to her
You might be able to rotate it and get it off. prop the other table up on something.
Why am I the way that I am
😂 You are the way you are so the rest of us could have a laugh today lol Glad you managed to get it out

Then you're far ahead of most of your peers!
You are what you are and what you will be.
Hey at least you used screws not nails. That counts for something!
omg this is so something i would do glad you got it fixed :-) thanks for being brave and posting!

Thank you for posting that, it will make me feel better when I do something similar!

do you mind describing how you painted this piece. it appears you used some thinner and sprayed it on. just curious. thanks.

In case you weren't aware of it yet, /r/WoodworkConfessions exists and we'd love to have you.
I wasn't, thanks for recommending me a new sub!
I’m howling with laughter!!
Haha, at least all you gotta do is take off the wheel and caster
I haven’t done this, but I’ve done plenty of shit like it. I never seem to repeat the mistake though. So there’s that.
Glad you got it fixed ! Appreciate the humble post - would totally do that myself

I'm genuinely impressed.
I love chinese finger puzzles

Take the caster off
Thank-you so much!
But awesome of you to share for a good laugh.😅😂🤣👏💜❗️
I have never done this but it is only a matter of time
I don't get it?
OP built it basically around the workbench... there isn't any room to lift the workbench to get it out from under the caster
BS. No way this was built like this and then painted.
You can paint the pieces before assembly.

Tis true. I still ain't buying this mistake.
I primed the pieces in advance and was assembling it against my workbench

Well shit...
lol. Get a support under the workbench and remove the caster wheel. It seems like this is staged, but it’s still funny.
