Homemade speaker shoes! (Pics)

[Bossk128]

I wondered if anybody was interested in my homemade speaker shoes. After finding out they were £16 per speaker, my tight gene kicked in. I've no idea about their sonic qualities, but they certainly protect my floors.

I chopped up some corks into quarter slices, and glued them to small copper discs, cost me about 16p in all (I already had the corks)

Here's some pics, including injuries. I should've been more careful with the kitchen knife cutting up the corks.

What do you think

I think most people just use the pennies

and some drill a little indentation into the penny so the spike has something to align with.

Looks like a nasty cut.......whats that?........."only a fleshwound?"

I need to make a third set for my subwoofer now. I'll be more careful, maybe using safety glasses too.

I couldn't find your blood type in your profile, I'll call the hospital 'just in case'

True, they are a bit messy. SWMBO wasn't out long though, she still isn't impressed despite my wounds.

Having drunk the 4 bottles of wine to get the corks, without the need to cut anything, I've reached the state of mind where I don't really care what damage the speaker spikes can do...
