Before You Begin |
| |
| Before you begin to make this platform you need
to measure the component you are making it for. Lets take a cdp
with 12x17 inches for example. What I found looks best is
adding an inch onto each side. so you would get a final
dimension of 14x19. |
Tools and Materials |
| |
| The tools and materials needed for the project
are Sander, measuring tape, screws, 20 inch innertube, Table
saw, (you could use something else. just your edges might not
be as straight) A screw gun. piece of 3/4-1inch plywood or
solid wood of birch, oak, something hard. 1"x1/2-3/4 inch
pieces of wood for the retainer piece. could be cut from extra
plywood of bought as trim pieces from the local hardware
store. |
Assembly Instructions |
| |
| Ok, now that you have your platform piece cut
and sanded you can begin work on the retainer pieces for this
step, there are a couple ways you could complete it. by using
different cuts on the wood. but the goal is the same. you want
the retainer pieces to run flush along side the edges of the
platform all the way around. with the 1 inch side of the wood
facing out. so that the retainer will add one inch of space
underneath the platform. what this does is keeps the innertube
in place and its makes it look a lot better basically the way I
attached mine ( the easy way ) was made 2 pieces 19 inches
long to each go on the front and back. and 2 pieces 13 inches
to go in the sides. remember. don't make the side pieces the
same length of the side of the platform as we did for the
front. because you need to factor in the 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch
times 2 of the front and back retainer pieces. Or you could
just cut the pieces at a 45 degree angle at the corners, but I
wont explain that. |
| |
| Ok now you should have your platform and all 4 pieces
for the retainer cut and ready to screw on. because the
retainer is one inch thick you will need to get one and a half
inch wood screws or finish screws. no longer or else it would
go through the top of the platform. predrill holes for the
screws before you put them in because the retainer is only 1/2
inch wide it would split very easily. put 2-3 screws in each
retainer pieces one on each end and one in the middle. |
