Does anybody know of a website where I can get the plans to make a pair of PA speaker stands?

It's just a tripod with a post on top. Any heavy duty tripod design will work.
 
I say YO there Clive:

You could use a couple of Roo pouches soaked in starch but that wouldn't hold up too long.

Try a GOOGLE search for home made speaker stands.

Or, as the TEXAN said, be inventive. Maybe a couple of croc jaws from Steve Erwin? Naww, he wouldn't like his crocs being used for music.


Cheers,
Green Hornet:cool: :cool: :p :p :D
 
TexRoadkill, Yeah I know they are a tripod and if need be I will simply copy my music stand using sched.40 pipe and scaled up but I was hoping there were some interesting ones out there, and Hornet, 'roo pouches would stink like hell, I made the mistake a couple of years ago of cooking some up on the stove to make a stew for my dog, Christ it took 5 days for the stink to go away, it's bloody terrible, good lean meat tho', dog eats it, and crocs, nah don't like em, we get them up here and you don't want to know them.
But back to the stands, I have a couple of bins with 15" and horn, I really do need to get them up high, for projection but have misgivings about just plonking them on a stand, and was hoping that there is a model that could be wound up or something, less chance of nose diving off a chair
 
I've built a few windups in the past and they are not easy. Are you a pretty good machinist? To do anykind of mechanisms like that your tolerances will be pretty tight.

I would rather save the time and just pay but if you have the tools, knowhow and time I guess it's not so bad. I dont have the tools or the patience anymore ;)
 
Tex, yeah, I am a machinist but time is the biggest constraint, it was just the thought of picking the buggers up any more than I have to, also a sign of old age I guess, I'll most likely just do the tripod and grunt, save a bundle making them myself tho'.
 
These things seem cheap enough at Musician's Friend and all the usual suspects. $50 each for the reasonably sturdy-looking ones.
 
The cheapest I can find in Australia are $149 each, I can make a pair for $50 materials so that's where I am coming from.
 
Dr_Sbaitso, thanks for that, Altronics, I hadn't even thought of them, I got an EV mic they had on special a while back, good value.
