Homemade speaker stands


Hi folks,I want to make a pair of speaker stands for a pair of smallish speakers.Does anybody have experience with this? Any suggestions? It's not rocket surgery, as they say, so I should be able to make something.Thanks,David

I've made several pair but I used expensive food grade cutting boards for the base & tops so they weren't cheap.They were however absolutely stunning and sold for 3 times my investment!
So you want super cheap,why bother making you can get any number of wood stands for $50.00...
You want bespoke stands that could probably be sold for double or triple investment?I can lay it out if you do.Let me know..
steamboy,yes I used 2.5" thick x 12" x 14" for the bases & 1"x 6"x x 8 " for top plates..Search "Butcher Block Cutting Board"on Ebay & Amazon..Wait till you see some of the pieces are AMAZING..You can get threaded inserts & spike kits online..Home Depot has the center post..Search 4"x4" post..Beautiful Pressure Treated Red Cedar for about $10.00 enough to do the set & they will cut to length..6" long Brass screws & your all set..Sorry no pics.This was several years ago..
