Hi, I built my slot stands based on FireballJackpots design. Hope Fireball is cool with it. My issue was the plywood and cutting angles. I drive a Honda Civic and there's no way to transport a 4ft x 8ft sheet of plywood. I'm using 2x6's for my top piece and just cut square pieces. It seems really stable and strong. I just have some basic wood working tools. A square, worm-drive Skilsaw and a drill. I wrote the dimensions on the lumber. Think is readable with some zoomage. Hope you like: |

More photos of the project: I'm drilling pilot holes so as not to crack the wood. Drilling the 2 1/2" drywall screws deep enough so they don't stick out and catch anything. |

More photos of the project: No issue with gravity loads. A 2x4 post will carry a substantial amount of weight. Was worried about lateral forces. I've pushed and pulled without any deflection. The sheer capacity of the screws seems adequate. I have 3 friends that are structural engineers. Mostly I don't have a clue what they are talking about. Picked up a few smart sounding words........haha. Not sure why they hang out with me ??? |

This is the final product. I built 3 of these guys this afternoon. These I made 22" tall. I've done 24" & 26" - Just need 4 taller legs. I like the 28" width for setting drinks and using as a foot stool. The 22" depth works for all my machines and (4) 2x6's pressed together is easy. Dimensions 28"-wide 22"-deep 22"-high Items purchased from Lowes for one stand: (1) 16" 2x4 = ? (had a 2x4 piece lying around) (2) 8ft. 2x4's = $5 (2) 8ft. 2x6's = $10 (1 1/2) cans Valspar paint+primer spray paint = $6 (1/2) 1 lb box 8 X 2 1/2" course thread drywall screws = $3.50 Total cost $25 (+-) Like that there is storage space underneath. Cheers! Todd |
