Now that my assessment for Video is done and the majority of non-major tasks are behind me, I decided today to chase up plinths again…
Today I went from Build My Own to covered Milk Crates to Build My Own… this is what I’ve decided to do.
On the milk crate idea… I had considered these previously but I was concerned about stability. I went to Music School Cafe who said I could borrow the 23 crates I’d need from their stash… Unfortunately, they’d been recently collected and had none… I called Capital Chilled Foods who collect them and they stated categorically that they do not lend them out… that I should try Scholle, the company they purchase them from… I checked their website… it became too hard so I went to Bunnings instead.
So, design-wise…
Plinth design sketches/calculations |
1)
Four sides plus a top at about 1200 high, 30-40cm wide… I found the following at Bunnings:
Dressed Pine: 1200 x 290 x 19 = $13.18
((6 x 4) + 2) x $13.18 = $342.68
Melamine White: 1200 x 295 x 16 = $7.30
((6 x 4) + 2) x $7.30 = $189.90
2)
New Design… 3 sides, one top…
Melamine White: 1200 x 295 x 16 = $7.30
