Step 2: Paper shredder mount and base
Remember that each part on the machine has to be higher than the part after it, so that the pulp and stuff can move without too much trouble. So, the first part, the paper shredder, has to be the highest. I had a board sticking up on either side of the paper shredder to keep it from moving side to side. underneath it, I had a platform built out of 4 boards, with a space in the middle of the boards. So, the shredder was sitting on the platform with two boards sticking up on either side of it to keep it from moving. Now I should probably show you how to make it.
The first step is to cut two 1 by 4s. They have to be the same length, and remember, these have to b the tallest. Set those aside. Now, flip your shredder upside-down. Cut four 1 by 4s. two should be the length of the shredder, and the other two the width. Arrange them so that the longer boards are on the shredder, and the shorter ones are on top of the longer ones. Move them so that the space where the paper comes out is uncovered, so the little bits of paper can come out. Screw this together.
Make it so that the long boards are above the platform a bit. These have to be on either side of the paper shredder. Screw everything together, using lots of screws, anywhere where the wood is touching. There should now be a platform with a space in the middle that is supporting all the weight of the shredder, while the two long boards keep it from moving around. The longer part of the long boards will attach to the base, while the shorter parts of the longer board are facing up, where the shredder is. It is a table with two boards sticking up on either side. This is a bit confusing, so look at the pictures.
Now put a crosspiece in between the legs of the mount.
