base for 12 x 18 C&p

Hello, i wanted to get advice from anyone that might know. Im looking to get a base for my 12x18 C&P. The man who sold me my press and has been printing for years suggested 4 smaller, 5 x8 bases that could be combine for about 10” x 16” total if you used them all at the same time would be optimal for your size press, as they AND the quoins would fit inside the 12” x 18” chase.
All that to say, im trying to find a cheap way to go about all of this… I had NO idea how expensive bases were!?

this link is to a wood base i found.. have any of you ever used a wood base for polymer plates?
