pedestals

below are a few pictures showing how we set pedestals. This is a new system that I have adopted. What is new is the use of the leveler legs. The beginning photo is the pedestal sitting on the tiled floor. Next is the pedestal sitting at its correct height. After that you will see the pedestal with the support cleats screwed to the pedestal holding it at it's correct height. We remove the leveler legs and re-use them. the pedestal is screwed to the wall at sides and back. The toe kick is then screwed from the back of the pedestal. This is the best most efficient way I have for installing this type of pedestal. We shellac the bottom edge of the toe kick to seal it, and we use 3/4" thick material. One of my goals with the pedestals is to systematize the process of building them as well. Currently we build them at the time we build the boxes and it is done by the crafter who builds the box. I want to build these myself just prior to the install. They are always built the same way and only change in there height. with the right system in place they could be built moments before they are installed it. that would increase our productivity and allow us to offer more competitive pricing.
