Let's see:
3/4 Birch Ply 4x8 Sheet - $38 (Free to me

)
2 - 1.5" Sch 40 PVC 10' - $10
32 - 1.5" Slip Caps - $10
Pipe Insulation - $ 6
Hardware - $20 (casters, machine screws, fender washers, nuts)
Primer & Paint - $12
Quart Stain - $ 9
----------
Total $105
If I tung oil or poly, add another $8-10 i guess...
Considering the size of the stand (80" wide) + the extra table I'm getting out of it (included all this in price), I'm more than pleased. I didn't "glue" the PVC either, so it is somewhat "modular" if I ever wanna reconfigure for any reason.
I'm gonna start on some DIY speaker cables next - just for the fronts...
Not looking for sonic differences. More aesthetics & something to do to kill the time waiting to buy new TV (will be Sept - BONUS time). Plus, I just need banana plugs for "convenience"

Gonna do a take on the WhiteLightning build...
Likely to be a 16/3 orange cord covered w/ Blue TechFlex (see my avi!), Atlona bananas....
Thanks for looking!
