the idea of holding both base and top plates using threaded rod comes from this article only

Those look nice. How much did it cost you to build them?

around Rs.800 in total!
mdf planks i already had

 

[MillionSwords]

I shall be doing a day stand soon.
Does it not vibrate?
Did u fill sand?

 

[soundnovice]

without sand fill also it doesnt vibrate. but filling with sand will ensure perfect rigidity. depends of the speaker box weight.

My "quick and dirty" speaker stands consist of a couple of piles of books . Yours are proper speaker stands. Very nice looking

threaded rods were custom done from hw/steel fabrication workshop. buy a rod of 10mm-12mm and they can do threading on it.
water pipes dont have any threading. using washers and bolts, threaded rod will hold the top and bottom wood planks together, with pipe around it.

again disturbing you hehe
where to look for such solid rods..which shpos

 

[Thad E Ginathom]

I like the idea. Have always intended to improve on my pile-of-books stands for my monitors. Actually, sonically, the books are probably good, but looks-wise, not good.

re the rods... in UK, something called studding is available, which is rod threaded for its whole length. You just cut it as you want it. Would be ideal for this. Is it available here?

 

[prosenjit]

^^ you are in a better position mate..i use chairs as speaker stands..

look for metal workshops who do iron window grills etc.
