So with all the plinth building threads I've seen recently, I decided my SP-25 needed a new one as well as the previous plinth I made was a bit small and crude looking.
Having almost no tools except a jig saw, cordless drill and a ruler, I went looking for the easiest way to get a nice looking plinth that cost very little.
I found a pre-made shelf at Ikea with the right size and finish and bought 2! I layered them together to get 2" and then measured and cut the holes for the drive unit and arm. I added some vinyl covering and some paint and below is the result!

Total cost was about $60 with the Sorbothane pads for the feet. I like the way it turned out, of course this is no comparison to the ones built by others, but it does the job and looks good IMO.
Now if only I had an EPA-250 arm to match the drive unit!
