Pedestal

[316what]

Those are sweet. Will you be doing cases on the top?

No, I'll be leaving them open. I have original art hanging behind these and the cases detract from the statue and art IMO.

Nice pedestal, I paid my $50 each, but yours is much batter.

Cool with the art behind them 316What. As I am in the process of building my own pedestals I would be interested to see the internal structure you used. I have used 1x2's internally which makes the pedestal itself quite heavy and stable.

Very sweet indeed 316. I like nice balance with the different sizes.
That looks like a very impressive collection of CQ's. I don't have any as yet, but maybe one day?

Terrific work ther electroshock. No where did you get the upper case made?

 

[fantasymaker]

WOW , that is beautiful.

So finally, after many Saturdays in the workshop finished my first pedestal. Went all black and with a little more time and patience would have achiened that piano black finish on the top. Very happy with the case on top its almost square in every corner. All in all a good solid first effort but the next one will be completely different and far easier.

Nice job

Excellent job.

Are you thinking about putting a mirror in the back of the case?

 

[Icemizer]

I think I may for the next one. The case on top is way over designed and a real pain to take apart and put together. The "glass" on the case is really 1/4" plexi.

Not a pedastel in any way shape or form but just thought I would see if I could replicate the boards acknowledged master of shelving. Not to shabby an attempt either. Used some 3/4 oak for these so they are quite heavy and instead of the plastic case for the photo I used some plexiglass that slides in front of it. Ahh fun with wood.

Pusssy Galore, "I think I'm in Heaven" I had to spell it that way because of the board settings
