Here is my finished rack. I thought I posted these pix in this thread, but I can't find them so I must not have.
Overall shot with new rack.

The speakers now have the Lamda TD-15X and new copper feet I made
Has a very distinct Steampunk feel to it. I like it! :tresbon:

Here is my Lovan Sovereign 3-Tier rack

Gimme indie rock!
I did a 3 tier double wide flexy out of some bamboo butcher block I found for really cheap. I used the beefiest All thread I could find so the whole thing is rock solid on 4 legs. I used couplers for feet too. These are the best pics I could find, sadly.
I used 1/2" SST all thread / fasteners on my rack / stand.
It was [not] cheap
, but the 1/2" wood I used was.
I looked at MDF, but having to buy a piece (4' x 8') large enough to side a house was a bit more than I needed.
Rubber feet came from a local mom & pop's hardware.
I was concerned the wood I used would resonate at higher volumes, but it handled TL's Emerald cranked up with no bad vibes.
EDIT:
I made some minor improvements to accommodate another TT.
4' x 16" x 3/4" MDF at Home DePot for the top shelves.
Countersunk the top 316 fasteners.
Separate shelf for the AU-717.
A small MDF utility shelf to mount the AT 6003, rest a beverage, etc. :beer:
Last [and final?] revision:
All shelves have been changed out to a more robust MDF.
I have one more change in the works. stay tuned.

Two $7 Lack tables from Ikea
I haven't owned a drill press now in many years so no I didn't use one. I measured, marked and kept an eye on the bubble level on top of a battery operated drill. Both of my flexys (one plywood and one corian) managed to come out straight which is a rarity in itself for most anything I do

I was concerned the wood I used would resonate at higher volumes, but it handled TL's Emerald cranked very well.
I can say I used a press on the smaller ones and it made it easier. Drilling pilot holes on the larger piece helped.
Love your sansui gear!
(sent from my mobile, please pardon typos)
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I like it! :yes:
I am surprised anyone noticed since it is not anything lavish or ritzy.
But it is posted in a DIY rack thread. :nutz:
