DIY Speaker Stands

post #1 of 8

Thread Starter 
So I got fed up with having my speakers lying around and putting them where I could fit them and made some speaker stands out of Pine.
Cheap and Simple.

I'm pretty happy over all. Just moved very far away, the wood shop let me use their table saw. Assembled it with a screw driver smile.gif

Pine $18.00
Screws $3.50
L brackets $2.00
Screw driver $4.00
Glue $FREE

Total $27.50

Very nice man, are you going to finish them in anyway, or just leave them natural?

Get some Polyurethane seal as well like I used on my desk build.  I chose semi-gloss, makes a nice water-proof seal and makes wiping off dusty super easy.
