I could build something, but my problem is that I have such a long list of "not quite finished" projects, that I hate to add another project to the list...




Oh, I had assumed you were asking for feedback on how to design something you were planning to make. Sorry…

I’ve found that the stress involved with having these unfinished projects in the Q keeps things interesting. Without stress life gets boring and I get into trouble.

I’m assembling a motor right now, but I’ll be doing some more wood work in a couple weeks. If you can’t find something suitable and will pay shipping/cost of wood, I could cut something up for you. I don’t like finishing, so you’d have to do that.

Sure, as long as your patient. While I’ve got the tools all set up, this wouldn’t take but a couple hours to make, but I won’t be making any more sawdust till the motor’s together. I’ll need exact measurements of the speaker ( +/- 1/32” ), total height of the stand you want, edge profiles, if you want it angled up / down or flat and type of wood. What I’d do is just have it ready to assemble with all the holes pre-drilled and slots cut for the biscuits. You’d just have to dab a little glue on the biscuit and run the screws in. It’d be easier to mail it broke down that way. You get to stain / finish it. I don’t have much hardwood on hand but can get just about anything when I make the next trip to Anchorage. Oak is available where I live, but the local store is pretty proud of everything they sell.

Just shoot me a PM if you’re serious and I’ll give you my Zip code so you can figure out shipping costs and all that crap. Shipping from Alaska can only go one way, air mail and it does get expensive.

Oh one more thing, I’m a firm believer in the barter system………

I just went through the same thing. I got so annoyed at the full metal bracket. I ended up going to Home Depot and bought two metal shelf brackets that on side is 8 inches and the other 10 inches. I mounted the 8 inch side to the wall and the 150 sits perfectly on the 10 inch side. Not sure of your room decor but mine has dark walls, etc. so the black brackets blend right in. They have white and silver also. The best part is that they were a little over a dollar each.
