I made this for a 9/0. Its only missing one thing. The Dom and Tom Frame! 8)

It looks good on the safe. I figure, One for Dom's frame and another on the other side with the Black Pearl Frame! ;D

I really wanted to put the Everol up there, but Its just too big!
Let's see how long it takes my Wife to notice. ;)

I like this angle better.
Nice plinth, is Perspex? and what do you use to join the corners.
Mike.
As plinths go that's a REALLY nice one :o ;D

I don't know what Perspex is. This is a thick piece of plexiglass (Acrylic Sheet) That I heated with a torch and formed to shape.
Hey Daron, now that is a really short plinth... ;D Dominick
It was 12 " long before I shaped it! :o

Hi Daron,
Perspex is what we call Plexiglas here in the U.K. You made an excellent job of bending it, I thought it was three pieces joined together!!
Sometime I will give it a try, what thickness did you use?
Mike.
Its between 1/4" and 1/2". .354 caliper. The 1/2" is too heavy and blisters when you get it too hot trying to bend it.

Thanks for the size, I will see what I can find and start practising!
Mike.
Daron
next time you get ready to bend some plexy glass i can teach you how to bend half inch or better sheets. I will post some picks for some seats we made at the old Car stereo shop i used to work for on our shops custom lowrider.

here is the pic...check it out
Very nice work now your gonna get me in trouble with more projects.
That's how it works around here Salty.
Chris, those are some cool looking seats. Not very practical though. Somebody heavy sits in one of those, I'll guarantee they break when they lean back. If its polycarbonate, then that's a different story.
I made a sold 1/2" box for my Everol, but scrapped the idea when I realized how heavy it was. :-\
That 1/2" does get heavy pretty quick
If anybody wants one of these Plinths, I can hook you up cheap! I get the material for free. About 20 minutes to drill and shape.
do you do alot of work with plastic?
Well Boss,
I have worked at the Same Acrylic Factory for 26 years now, so you could say that. ;D
Daron
So you work at an acrylic factory...Do yal have the liquid acryli that Taxidermist use to make water splash effects for fish mounts. I think i Nice clean big reel would look awesome mounted in a big splash of water.
No Chris, Its made in 3500 to 10000 lb batches and poured through a 1/4 mile long casting machine, then its cut to size or rolled on a reel. We have four of these machines. Its mass production. Once the syrup is catalyzed, It has to be under a nitrogen Blanket and a chilled water jacketed vessel. It is very unstable above 50 degrees farenheit. once it exotherms inside the machine, it comes out hard, flat and shiny.
Sounds similar to polymer extrusion science..stuff is very temperature sensitive.
I was curious if my Plinth could hold the weight of a 14/0.

Even loaded with 130lb mono, it was no problem! ;D
