Now build a mockup from cardboard and Styrofoam to make sure everything fits properly and to determine the height dimension you prefer. Once you have done that, fine-tune depth and width. If you want to use two tonearms, you can draw that into the template as well. Using your Garrard as a template, trace around it as a starting point and then figure out where to place the tonearm using the tonearm template for your particular tonearm. Once you have a basic idea of how you want to approach your plinth, you can lay it out on a sheet of cardboard. Pete also drew a conceptual drawing for a laminated plinth using three layers with cutouts for the motor assembly with similar dimensions. In this drawing Pete depicts a plinth with a sculpted motor cutout and a removable arm board with the dimensions of 550mm (21.65 inches) wide, 440mm (17.32 inches) deep, and 140mm (5.51 inches) high. In the adjoining photograph, you can see a conceptual drawing Pete did for a Garrard plinth. Be forewarned that the 301G virus is extremely contagious! Thanks to Pete's diagrams, you should be able to get some basic ideas, dimensions and a path forward to get started. Pete's working on his own Garrard plinth design after having been infected with the Garrard virus during the project. Here then are some diagrams to help you get going, courtesy of Pete Riggle and his drafting table. But I want to fulfill my promise of everyman plans so you can roll your own plinth. I realized after Terry Cain and I were done that the final design turned out to be too complicated for most people to make.
