Ramban
AND SO SHALL YE MAKE IT — [also] “in future generations. If one of the vessels is lost, or when you make85“Make.” In our Rashi: “make Me.” the vessels of the Sanctuary of Jerusalem,86The Hebrew is beith olamim — “the Eternal House.” See in Seder Yithro Note 598. such as the tables,87II Chronicles 4:8: And he made ten tables. the candelabrums,88Ibid., Verse 7: And he made the ten candelabrums. the lavers,89Ibid., Verse 6: And he made ten lavers. and the bases90I Kings 7:27-39: And he made the ten bases… which Solomon made — after the pattern of these you shall make them. If, however, this [part of the verse] were not connected with the preceding part [which reads: According to all that I show thee, the pattern of the Tabernacle, and the pattern of all the vessels], Scripture should not have written: ‘and’ so shall ye make it, but: “so shall ye make it,” and then it would be speaking of the making of the Tent of Meeting91And not of the Sanctuary of Jerusalem and its vessels. But now that Scripture says ‘and’ so shall ye make it, the expression is not set apart from the preceding part of the verse but is connected with it, thus: “and” so shall you make the pattern of all the furniture of the Sanctuary. and its vessels.” Thus is Rashi’s language. But I do not know if this is true, that Solomon was bound to make the vessels of the Sanctuary of Jerusalem86The Hebrew is beith olamim — “the Eternal House.” See in Seder Yithro Note 598. after the pattern of these vessels [of the Tabernacle]. The altar of brass which Solomon made was twenty cubits long and twenty wide!92II Chronicles 4:1. The altar of the Tabernacle was five cubits long and five cubits broad (further, 27:1). And Rabbi Abraham ibn Ezra wrote: “And so shall ye make — the vessels,93The expression and so shall ye make it thus refers only to the pattern of all the furniture (mentioned right above), but does not refer to the pattern of the Tabernacle since the term “making” was already stated with reference to it, namely, and let them ‘make’ Me a Sanctuary. for at the beginning He said, And let them make Me a Sanctuary.”94Above, Verse 8.
In line with the plain meaning of Scripture there is no need for all this. Rather, the duplication [and so shall ye make it] has the purpose of expressing emphasis and eagerness. Thus He said: “And let them make Me a Sanctuary”94Above, Verse 8. — a house and vessels — as a Royal Sanctuary and seat of Majesty, that I may dwell in the midst of them in the house and on the Throne of Glory which they will make for Me there. According to all that I show thee the pattern of this Tabernacle of which I have said that I will dwell in the midst of them, and the pattern of all the vessels thereof. He repeated, and so shall ye all make it with eagerness and diligence. This is similar to the repetition found in the verse, and the children of Israel did according to all that the Eternal commanded Moses, so did they.95Further, 39:32. Here, because the verse speaks of a command, it says, and so ‘shall’ ye make it, [whereas in the other verse the repeat states so ‘did’ they, because it speaks of a deed accomplished].

Rashi
And he made the bases But in I Kings (7:27), it is written: “And he made the ten bases of copper.” The bases are the bases of the laver, and there their work is explained.
