Hello Everyone,
During the long weekend, i tried myself building my own speaker stands for Wharf9.2 BS.
Searched for several designs on the net, but most of the common ones are - the one "connecting two plates with a PVC pipe filled with sand".
Like someone mentioned earlier, some how i did not find the cylinder shaped column more suiting the BS moreover i wanted something with Steel/Metallic/Alloy kind of look like the ones QUAD makes. (Also the one Magma made)
So thought of using Aluminium hallow blocks for the outer frame. (Well that's poor man's metallic look)
But i needed something to filled inside those hallow frames, so i got few wooden bars with the same size as these frames and inserted them to hold it tight. Then rest of them fallen in place, as easy as screwing them with upper and bottom plates. Got those wooden plates painted with the black color to get black and aluminium - a contrast look.
Only the toughest job was to cut the aluminum filled with wooden bars to the same size. Since the aluminium hallow blocks and wooden bars were cut in the shops manually the shop keeprs did not do it properly. So i had to get a hack saw and do that also myself. Ofcourse my better half helped me, i think she realized that i'm finally settling down for something very cheaper.
So everything was done in 3 days and by end of Monday, they are ready and already holding those sons of beast!
Material and cost :
Aluminium Hallow Frames/blocks - 4 each of 32 inch height - 320Rs
Wooden bars to the size of hallow frames - 4 each - 400 Rs
MDF - 4 pieces (2 upper and 2 bootom plates) - 200Rs
Hack Saw with a Holder / Hand Frame - 150Rs
Primer + Black Paint + Sand Papers - 100Rs
Screws - 30Rs
Total = 1200Rs.
Tools already had - a hand driller, Hammer, Screw driver.
And how does it come out - that's for you to see and comment :yahoo:
