Homemade Pioneer Speaker Stands

[bisonguy]

Maybe something like this is already out there but I haven't seen it yet. I wanted to get some speaker stands for my HPM-100 speakers. While looking online I wondered if there were any custom stands that might incorporate the Pioneer Logo. I couldn't find anything, so I decided to make my own.
I am by no means a carpenter, but I gave it a shot. I printed out a Pioneer Logo and had a Photocopy shop enlarge it to the exact size I would need to fit the speaker width. I then traced it onto bristol board and cut that out to use as a template. I didn't get too fancy with the wood because I wasn't sure how it would turn out. I used Walnut veneered board for the logo and a scroll saw to do the cutting. The top was cut from pine board, but I applied iron on veneer to the front, side and back edges. Nobody sees the top anyway so I left that alone. The rest of the stand is oak 1 x 3. The logo is attached to the top board by two "L" braces.
The concept could be used for any Pioneer speaker, just adjusting the Logo to the width of the speaker. I really like the look. The height from the floor to the speaker is 16".

I love it:thmbsp:, very classy looking stand, the original pioneer logo is a personal favorite, and the wood cut really compliments the setup. Good job on the cutting...you may not be a carpenter, but the wood cut looks professional to me.

I wouldn't mind finding a good example of the pioneer logo myself...the best one I can find is one that a member made for a background (which is cool unto itself)

Did you get a trademark waiver from Pioneer? You're in big trouble! Just kidding. If I make some speaker stands, I will copy that design. Hope you don't mind. Those are cool.
