Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Need idea for VP150 shelf?

Thats pretty slick Mark. I like your fancy workbench too.

HA! If I turned the camera around, you'd see a 24' long workbench constructed of 2X6s! (Plus that table was a temp; I built an island workstation where the table was!)

Right now, I would be happy just to have the clear space that table took up. Its a pita building anything larger than a canoe seat in an apartment.

So Fred.....
At last my suspicions have been confirmed and you have revealed yourself as the famous Canadian Superhero of lore....

Man, all of these pitas around are making me hungry.

Until the hummus shows up, it's only half a meal.

So which is better? The guy that bent plexi glass to make a stand or this stand? Technical points to the plexi stand and artistic points to this one?

Makes me want to get off my lazy butt and make one myself. My 150 is about 2' behind the TV. But it has a clear line of site to my couch and things sound great so maybe I'll leave it at that.

Kudos on your stand though.

Oooooh! I get technical points? Can I cash them in to buy hummas?

For a shelf that wide, unless you have the proper equipment, its going to be very hard to bend plexi that wide. keeping that width of plexy at bending temperature with a torch would be next to impossible.

Mark, how much to build a stand to hold down my levitating speaker wire? Damn things keep blocking the view...
On a serious hijacking note, have you ever tried or seen a successful attempt to pretty-up some basic speakers? My PSB towers are black on black. I have been dreaming of giving them a B&W 802 or Vienna (Sapele version) type hardwood shell over the existing box. Any thoughts on how to go about such a project? I have access to some very good word workers, but they lack any audio experience so I'm hoping to get a positive vibe before I mess up some nice ($$$$) hardwood and some decent ($$$$) speakers.
