New base for my Riccar
 

Hello all,

I wanted to make a new base for my Riccar. The original is made of plastic and looks cheap. The machine weighs a hefty 31 lbs. and I could just see the handle snap off when I least expect it. I used some scrap left over from the murphy bed project. They were only 2" tall and after making the base, the Riccar had a few appendages that would hit the bottom so I cut a few clearance holes. I access the power block through the right hand hold. I need to rewire somewhat to clean up the tray area so I can put the lid on for neatness. I plan to make a few more in the near future, but, for now I have 2 more lap quilts to make for the office girls for Christmas gifts .:)

That is great work! Now your Riccar looks impossibly good. You should do custom orders on eBay -- you'd sell a bunch of them.

nice job. i may have to try that on my old Commander.

Great job. I wish I was talented as you

I love this new base. If my RA would let me, I would attempt something like that.

Great Job!! Well planned out and very professional

great base.I like handles when I make mine too.

Wow, that is a gorgeous container. You're good at this.

Wow.....do y'all need a temp in your office? Just until a little after the office Christmas party?????

Nice work! What's the extra space in the back for?
