Pedestal Project Day 1

The pedestals need to be beefy and solid. They will be holding nearly 400 lbs between the machine, the water and clothes. So 2x4's and 3/4" plywood.  So a quick trip to Lowes for supplies and some time on the miter saw everything was cut.

Some quality time with my Kreg Pocket Hole Jig had me ready to start assembly.

And then assembling the internal structure - I warned you it was beefy.

After attached the skeleton structure added the top and front of 3/4" oak plywood left.

Here it is from the back. You can see how solid the pedestal is. It still needs a thin sheet on the sides. I will leave the back open. And all that's left is to add the trip to the front and paint it. That will have to wait until tomorrow.
