Foundation Designer stands replica

I own a pair of Graham LS5/9 that I use with the mythical and rare Foundation Designer stands for Rogers 5/9.

My plan is to upgrade to another bigger Graham speaker so, the original Graham stands are not the best in my opinion, I would like to build a new pair of clones of Foundation Desginer, but bigger.

Do somebody know the details of the originals? Materials used, and so on, in particular?

thanks

They don't look like anything exotic. They seem to be welded steel. Years ago I needed to have a set of stands made for a pair of ProAc Response 1 speakers. I went to a welder with dimensions, and he fabricated them for me.

Yes, it should be easy. I overdid it with the Response 1 stands and had six pillars on each. The welder charged $250.00 for the job and when I picked them up said that he would never do it for that price again. It was too much trouble.

What is it that you're looking for? The dimensions are clear because you own them. All that would be left to determine would be the type of metal, and I doubt that they're aluminum, so that leaves steel, right?

Type of paint? I think that we're getting into Peter Belt territory now.
