Make Your Own Speaker Stands

I got a sweet deal on some speakers and an amp for the downstairs treadmill/bike room. But I couldn't blow that deal by spending $50 on some speaker stands.

You will need:
-16x 1-1/4" screws
-1 x 1" x 8" x 2' wood
-1 x 1" x 6" x 2' wood
-Spray paint

Saw
Drill
Tape Measure
Square

-Optional: Dremel Lathe

The legs are 13" long, you will need 2 for each stand.

Apparently somewhere between measuring and cutting I usually make mistakes. So I used the dremel lathe attachment to clean up my cuts.

The base should be cut from one piece of 1x8. It should be 11" long. You need two.

The top piece should be cut from 1 x 6, it should be 6.5" long. You need two.

You need to drill 4 holes in the top and 4 in the bottom. I used a square to mark 45s from the corners to put the legs on.

I then used the first one as a template for the rest of the pieces.

I drilled pilot holes in the legs so the wood did not split and then screwed it all together.

I sanded it with some 220 paper and then hit gave it the krylon touch.

Enjoy!
