Thanks Glenmore,

Will be away from home for a week starting monday....holidays.

When I return, I expect to finish the stands. I'll post those pics as I work through the final steps.

Ed......:-)

That is a good idea. It will keep you on Harry's good side.

Bj., it's a pity that you added the pics. of the pointed ones on an earlier post of yours, many people following this thread won't look at the ones that they have read. I think that such a good job deserves to have a post of it's own

Hi Folks,

Here is where I'm at with the speaker stands.

I'm learning a lot of stuff but I have to get much better at tolerances, still it's better than what I used to do years ago...so it's improvement.

I haven't made the ski jig yet and I think it would have helped me greatly with this project.

Thanks for looking,

Ed......:-)

Hi Ed

Looking good and you'er right this is a easy job for the Ski jig.
They are so easy to make and use,,,,,,with all the time you spent clamping and setting up for the cut you could have a made a ski jig...

Here's a snapshot just for kicks..

To make tetons all that's needed to cam the part in place run the bit by the edge, then just plunge down on the ends to remove the small part so they can drop in the dado...quick and easy way...and safe

Your doing very well Ed. and I look forward to seeing the finished pair.
May I just make one remark concerning safety, your shot #20 where your doing a roundover, the fence should be closer to the cutter so that the right hand corner of the wood touches the fence allowing you to safely feed the wood into the cutter. Some people use a starting pin for this purpose.

Thanks guys,

Yup, hafta get that jig done BJ.

Point taken Harry....although this trimmed up easily and quite safely....no grabbing involved in this one...but I would feel safer with the pin.
