Thanks! I practice dovetails and joinery techniques any chance I get. Plywood drawers are no exception , and in some ways made it easier.

I was surprised about the dovetails as well. So.....I kept watching! Great job, my washing machine is acting up and it won’t be long for a replacement, may have to build a pedestal similar to this very soon. Thank you, this is very helpful.

Thanks for the compliment, Mark! Of course, the drawers can also be made with much simpler joints. Box joints and plenty of glue, rabet and tongues (with the sides being where the groove is and the inside of the front and back the tongues), and many other options. I hope you found it helpful and maybe you’ll check out some of our other videos! Thanks for watching! Post a photo of your completed pedestal when you’re done. Love to see what you make!

You are so welcome! I hope you find this helpful!

Thanks! And interesting on the magnetic connection. Wish we’d known! Perhaps your comment can help someone else.

Thanks for the compliment, AA! I'm a firm believer that when you do a project you should always be practicing your skills. Don't settle for less because you're in a hurry.

@@SkyValleyStudio I hope it works well for you for a long long time! Seems like something you can take pride in forever when you're in your forever-dream-home! I was looking for a DIY build for a property I won't be in too much longer, and don't have nearly the skillset and toolset that you do to practice with... :D

Thanks Waukesha! (WI?) I just do the recording. James makes me look good and puts the time in to make quality videos. Appreciate the vote of confidence and the positive feedback!

Thanks for the subscribe! We're always open to ideas and suggestions for future videos. If there's something in particular you'd like to see, let us know!

Thanks for the feedback! And for watching. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks, Two Captains! Great tag, BTW.

Sorry, I don’t have that video. Check your dryer manual to see if there is a knock-out plate. We had a hard time getting the plate out, and each dryer has its own way of getting to the venting and rerouting the internals to vent down instead of sideways. Good luck!! Hope you found the rest of the video helpful!

@@SkyValleyStudio Thank you so much for your quick response!!!! I appreciate it! I did find the spot where you can add a down vent to our dryer. With a little bit of research I did find the how to. I may have to make my own vent kit though. Everyone is sold out. LOL One other question. I believe you said your height of your platform is 10". Is this correct? I realize I can make this my own, however I love how yours is set up. Thanks Again!!

Yes, ours is 10” tall, but plan what you will use the drawers for. We have green coffee beans for roasting in ours! Sometimes an extra inch can make a huge difference!

Thanks for watching and commenting! Good question! our washer is on the second floor but we don’t have a drip pan. I assume you’d put the drip pan under the washer and on top of the pedestal. Here is a link to a video on how to move it in place: m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obuJdc6VupPUdmw.html

We bought heavy duty rubber cups for the feet. We still get a bit of vibration with unbalanced loads. I’d recommend a lip or trim piece in front to keep the machines from walking off the pedestals for those times you don’t realize the load is imbalanced. Or screw the cups to the top before putting the machines in place. That may work even better.

The top plywood has a solid wood band tacked and glued on the edges. 3/4” thick by 1” wide (up and down) makes the top look thicker.

Not really. It’s a short run and the only 90-degree bends are in the dryer itself, as designed. The rigid pipe is also better than the flexible or semi- rigid tubing in that regard.

The feet are on heavy rubber discs I got on Amazon. The thicker the better. The washer has some creep even with those, but they help dampen vibrations. And the creep is only fully loaded and on high spin speed. Added a front lip to keep it more in place. Another cross Support May have helped lessen creep. Vibrations in our loft are less than when it sat on the floor. STABLE-PADS Rubber, Non-Slip Anti... www.amazon.com/dp/B07M9CVX8K?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

They’re great! But if you use too much soap it can overflow the filter. Got ours on two close out sales of the models.

I didn’t include a cut list or plans because each laundry room is different. I don’t always work from solid plans, and just went by measurements to fit our tiny space. I’ll have to see if I can draw something up. Thanks for the suggestion.

Absolutely! As rock solid as the day they were installed. No issues.

We used moving straps and two people.

@@SkyValleyStudio thank you great video!!!!

It was a beast to get the bottom knock-out out but the only way it would fit. Have to check the venting options on new dryers. They may vary by make/model. Thanks for watching!
