Maybe sound anchors can clone them
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
@jjss49 yes mythical because many tried to copy them but, the original sounded always better than the copy so I need the secrets of that formula please do not transform this topic in a general discussion about stands, I need precise instructions about these ones. thank you |
Not a thing there that is fancy. Measure twice, cut once, grind once, and tack it. Check your work, weld a little more if that makes you happy drill holes in the TOP plate so you can fill the legs with what ever makes your pickle squirt and put corks on the holes. Paint them PINK!!! Pull a cork or two it doubles as a sex toy. I had to say that. OH deburr if you go the latter OUCH.:-) Regards |
My TT stand is very similar but not as tall. I made square wooden columns because I stained the wood. I then put a threaded rod in the center of the column and poured concrete in the column. Allow the rod to protrude enough so as to mount the top & bottom. which is held by a washer & nut. In my case, I have a sandbox on top which covers the nuts at the top. And those on the bottom are recessed and don’t show. You will have to design your top & bottom so not to show the nut. My top & bottom are 1 1/2 in which made it easy. But that might not look as good for your purposes Instead of concrete, you could just fill the legs with sand. And if you are going to paint it, you might be able to use a 3 or 4 inch PVC pipe for the legs. Or, a square vinyl tube. I’d check to make sure the PVC filled with sand does not have any ring to it before committing. Have fun |
