How much does a 9 inch weigh? How about a 16 inch?

Thanks,
Danny

IGT says 230-235 lbs

Ok. Thank you

The same as 2 skinny girls carrying  12 packs of beer  :97- :97- :97-

 :89- hahaha! I am debating if I should build a table for my slots so I needed to know how strong that table needs to be (3 machines)

HERES WHAT I BUILT.  12 ply ply wood rapped in oak veneer /oak edging / high def laminate top ( WILL EVEN HOLD UP YOUR CAR )

@ plunger boy: Those stands look really nice, great job!

Did you use any 2x4 frames inside the stands?

NO . braced by the 12 ply  plywood inside .built like bulkheads in a boat all self supporting

I really like seeing that....slot machines come before finished ceiling...way cool !!!!

Wow!! Very impressive, my job will be nowhere near this but I'll arrange something. I'll post pics when done.... Thanks for showing these pics. Nice machines too!!!

Plunger, that is one nice setup my friend!

finally i have a stand! took me way longer to post the pic as opposed to how long it took my friend to build the stand!!!  :52-

*** WARNING ***


Oh...PLEASE be careful !!!!
It looks like that whole line will tip should all 3 handles get pulled at once!

I'd seriously think about bolting them down to the bench and perhaps also making sure at
least one of the bolted machines gets attached somehow to a wall stud behind the machine.

That set-up looks so dangerous!

:212-

I was thinking the same thing! Be careful as they can be top heavy in certain situations!

looks can be deceiving. trust me, this bench can probably handle double the weight it already has. only way those puppies get down would be if someone tried to tackle one. i promise to take pics if anything does happen! that way you guys can tell me "told you so"!!  :88-

I don't beleive they're doubting it's holding capacity. Sounds like they're worried about the depth of the table. I beleive regulation slot stands are around 24" deep. The framework under mine is similar to yours, but I used a 7 1/2' piece of countertop for the surface. Used 2x4 frame under that and eight 4x4 legs to hold it up, all bolted together with 7/16"x4" lag bolts doubled on every joint. I parked my wifes CRV on it to test it :89-

mine has 2x4 framing underneath along with a strong base. the 4x4's on the end are vital for me as well.  i would've loved to go 20-24 inches deep but didn't have the room for it... i appreciate your opinions/warnings. i understand this isn't the strongest bench ever made but it's much better than what i had b4. i wouldn't dare take pics of that and post it here. half of NLG would grill me, maybe even kick me outta here!!!  :30-

Don't scare the guy to death, he gave me instructions and dimensions to make that for him. It includes a 1.3 degree reward pitch to move the center of gravity of each machine behind the center line of the bench. If you look at the picture you can tell that each machine is reclining against the wall already. What you can't see in the picture is he also installed a retaining assembly to each machine (duct tape to the wall, in layman terms).  As a safety back up system, he has his bed in front of them and if they topple over the springs in his mattress will catch them and propel them back into place.  DannyG804 is a pretty big guy, he might me a tad over 435 lbs, I doubt he would just sit there and watch them fall with out doing anything about it.  I saw him bear hug each of the 3 machines himself and set them down on the bench.

I think you are under estimating his weight by about 20 - 30 pounds.

Next season when I get to biggest loser and win, don't act like you know me then!  :200-

I am definately NOT critisizing. That bench looks strong as hell, I'm sure it won't collapse:)
