Amplifier Stand Project

I really like the sound of my little amp, but it's way to small to leave on the floor. I thought of buying an amplifier stand that gets it off the floor and tilts it back, but that would have made the controls hard to see and use.

My solution was to locate the center of gravity of the amp, then add threaded inserts from the inside, then build this crude stand out of some left over oak. I probably could have made external brackets that attach with existing screws, but that would have been much more work, and it's not like this model of amp will ever be a collectors item.

As you can see, it tilts back to point at my ears, and is easy to tilt forward to expose the controls.

This one's the prototype, so it has some workmanship issues, but I'll probably just use it as is.
