    Well, anyone with a child knows it's difficult to get anything done, especially when they're 2. Fortunately, our son still takes a 1.5-2 hr nap in the middle of the day and I'm able to make camp in the basement amidst the tools and try to get stuff done. I'm about 2/3 of the way finished with the matching stands for my natural Sierras. I still have to roundover the front corners to match the profile of cabinet, install the carpet spike inserts, fill the few nail holes, finish sand, apply tung-oil finish, and assemble. OK, maybe I'm just 1/2 way there. At any rate, I feel like I finally made some progress today and figured I'd share some pics.

    Hope to have them done by day's end tomorrow. I'll post pics with el completo.

    By the way, from the cut-offs from building the stands, I have about enough leftover material to build a low center-channel stand if anybody is interested. It could be single or dual fillable column (dimensions of your choice), the top plate could be angled upward, etc. If anybody is interested, please let me know. I could also finagle a wall-mounted CC shelf if needed.

    I have some leftover material with your name on it, Curtis!

    The stands should be done by tomorrow afternoon and I'll certainly post some pics.

    Yeah, but only as a hobby these days. I was a carpenter for about 14 years before I got into teaching (wood shop/tech). I've built all of our A/V furniture, but this is my first foray into stands. Just got back from the requisite trip to Lowe's to pick up some last minute stuff and I should have them done by early afternoon. I'll post pics of the finished product.

    Those...are...perfect!!!

    I could even live with a narrower column (less material, and not as heavy when filled with sand). Please let me know if you uncover any deep, hidden desire to make a 24" pair for $$$.

    Very nice job!
