DIY Speaker Stands - For Quad 11L

So,after 4 months i completed a Weekend Project that was supposed to be completed in less than a weekend with total 50$.

It costed about 150% more cause i was looking way too much things from the look and i ended up screw things.

What i did:

1) Installed Veneer - Failed,i thrown a ton of Sanding Sealer thinking it would be easy to sand,to save the MDF i had to destroy the Veneer by keeping it with the Nitrocellulose Undercoat to paint it.

2) Painted it with Nitrocellulose Lacquer - Nice but hand painted Lacquer screams orange peel,looked like BBW Fashion Show.

3) I bought Fabric (From IKEA,lol) and i decided to get it sewed to two covers for those stands - Failed,they were looking like old stools with cheap covers.

I got apeshit,i stabbed the stands with a screwdriver,then i ripped the fabric apart (i also hit my head while doing all these),then i glued the fabric on the MDF,and then i painted the pipes with a Motip Acrylic Spray and it looks awesome.

You see,i was stupid enough to spend 200$ on a 50$ Project cause i messed up things but not smart enough to buy 100 Euros used 25 Liter Air Compressor and Painting Gun to do the job right in the first place.

Anyways.

You better did that stuff when you where here, because dad haves enough tools for the air compressor lol

@merijnwitje Lol the Air Compressor and the Painting Gun it's the only thing i needed,though i could buy a Compressah with the Gas Money i would spend to get there. xD

well at least you've leant a lesson and made yourself a pair of decent stands :D

[truebassB]

@ducttaperulestheworl The lesson learned way too late but at least i learned it afterall so hopefully i will not screw other things. :D

They were so screwed up that i was about to turn them to garden stools and scratch make other stands,i will upload some photos on photobucket and if you see them you will understand how screwed they were. :D

"Like a BBW fashion show???"

You know, I kinda prefer BBW fashion shows! Like my with my speakers, I find a nice full "bottom end" is a good thing!

[picbuck]

Everything takes longer and costs more, and the first time double. Known fact. But hey, the stands look real nice!

@merijnwitje Lol actually the stabs were like 2mm holes which got buried under the glue before i put the fabric on them.

Indeed had to be damn time cause when i knew i had to complete them i was going nuts.
