Homemade speaker shoes! (Pics)

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'

 

What did you say you cut the cork with? your theeth? but hey if they work then great. cheap but effective.

 

These are proper speaker shoes:

 

I would love to see the homeland security man's face, as I boarded a Trans-Atlantic flight with a pair of those on

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

 

Swmbo?

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...
