Re: A Simple Speaker Stand
been doing a back and forth move on these stands, stain, no stain then edge, no edge... 
two more coats of poly and this would be ready for delivery. I hope the owner likes it this way, seems to look best this way imho...

Re: A Simple Speaker Stand
Looks great! It shows more character by emphasizing the difference between the slabs and the body(shaft). That looks more expensive than having a monotone scheme IMHO.
Re: A Simple Speaker Stand
the owner changed his mind on the color of the body?

I believe one reason could be that the maple finished in shellac resembles pine... well from the previous pictures iba na rin ang character nya...

Re: A Simple Speaker Stand
mukhang mamahalin yun ipapatong dyan na speakers. 😉
Re: A Simple Speaker Stand
Doc, yes adjustable height nga sya. I use threaded screws and got some hex nuts from hafele(not sure of description) but they are very nice.
Rony, these are made for C7's also... :poke: :borg1::win:

Re: A Simple Speaker Stand
sealed then stained with walnut, dried for 24hrs and lightly sanded before I sprayed red mahogany stain...
coming closer to the color and shade of my speakers...
tomorrow it gets a coat of poly...
I think I'll thank you Timber for adding inspiration for the speaker stands I really need to get to building. I've done several searches for stands I might like but none really caught my eye.
OT: I put a small inexpensive audio system in my workshop with the intention of eliminating an excuse not to spend some time in it.
Re: A Simple Speaker Stand
Very nice speaker stands Timber, my boss will surely love to have this in his showroom (he owns the AVDI in Shangrila).

Re: A Simple Speaker Stand
yup Wilfred is my boss here in their printng plant..he once brought me along to france to visit the jmfocal lab manufacturing facilities. They have a very nice woodworking facilities there for the speaker boxes and saw how the Ethiopa was being made.
btw, Wilfred is the sole owner of AVDI.
Re: A Simple Speaker Stand
very nice Armand, baka gusto rin nya ko isama sa France:tv_horror:... hehehe, kidding aside, that should give you plenty ideas on bending and veneer work. I have seen and heard the Focal Utopia, very dynamic I should say....
Glad to know he is sole proprietor, maybe that was why he offered me a good deal that I badly wanted to make. Send him my regards though I am sure he doesn't remember me.
