Heavy Metal SPEAKER STANDS

Personal Collection 

Custom Speaker Stands Made for RJ

Why use typical mdf speaker stands? Celebrate them with solid MDF plinths clad in 22 Gauge Steel. Stitched closed via wetting and MIG welding. Plasma cut edges. Burnished with black magic patina and dip-rusted with my special formula to give that lived in feel. And of course, made so that there is no resonance inside the shell.
