Case / base for newly acquired PC/basic


 

Greetings everyone, I'm new to lathes and after a few months of yearning, I finally came across a PC/Basic in great condition.

I don't have much work space and thus need a semi mobile setup (I.e. Lathe will be stored away when not in use)

Are there any good strategies / ideas for building base for the PC basic model?

Some notes:
1. With the vertical attachment it's abt 15-20kgs
2. I'd like to build a couple of handles on the left and right side of the base for easy lifting?

Would plywood suffice? My main worry is lifting the entire base + machine by its handles (to be built on left / right side) would not be strong enough.

Thanks in advance!?
