| | | | Thought about building a tripod base, but was just looking for a way to produce several as quick as possible without sacrificing on the craftsmanship of the riser or boom. Trust me the design itself is outside the box, just trying to save some time. Thanks for the suggestion though! I welcome any and all ideas. |

Back in the day I turned some bases in a lathe for various stands from solid steel discs. Not worth it anymore IMHO.
Come to think of it, it wasn't worth it 20 years ago either  .
The stands are so cheap that using 'em as donors makes much more sense.

Thanks | Are you sure you want to do that? Mic stands are awfully cheap, and making them sounds like a lot of work. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
