Cutting PVC pipes at the Machine Shop!

PVC pipes needed to be cut to a measured length in order to be placed underneath the wedge pillow to create a base. At the machine shop, the pipes were cut using a band saw and then "cleaned" using a sander.

Final Pillow Base


These are pictures of the pillow's base and essentially the mechanism with which to elevate it. The ply wood attached to the sides of the PVC piping have 2 'rungs'. Screws can then set themselves into these rungs, raising the top half of the base to the desired height. There are only two heights with which to raise the base as the length of the ply wood acted as a limitation.
