W&D Pedestals

Good job!

I remember pricing the stands for our W&D, as sold by the company that made our appliances. They were something like $350 … EACH!

I was fairly sure that this wasn’t intricate carpentry, and that I could do it for a /couple/ of bucks less, anyway ;-)

Thanks for proving that it can be done :-)

I didn’t realize those stands cost that much. We’re thinking of upgrading. I’ll be building my stands also.

The stand I did for under our dryer has the heat tube routed through it so that I have a removable cap in a port hole in front so that in winter we just remove the cap and benefit from all that warm moist air. During warm weather insert cap and the heated air is dumped outside.

Couldn’t stand to have all the heated air wasted; like blowing dollar bills out the window.

Building the stands are a great alternative. The prices on the originals are outrageous.

Looks great! I’m building something simliar for my W&D. Did you put any leveling feet on those guys?

Thanks all.
Josh, yeah I put some threaded leveling feet on both stands. The ones I used have an insert with a threaded bolt/feet that only req’s drilling a hole first. The important thing is to not drill the hole too deep.
