I am up to test my skills as carpenter once more time, the kitchen bench wood cost me 15EUR and I was lucky finding it as single piece in a woods supply warehouse. The four large kitchen feet pipes I found them for free, even so I had to visit Praktiker so to buy few more of them and additional bits that I will need so to finish this project. Spend 55EUR so far, but the true cost of the materials is 80EUR at the store. It is an expensive experiment but I think that I am going to Win ! 
The all idea is to come close to Philips FV815 stand but with three pipes instead of using wood.
The top base would be invisible under the speaker, I got two new 50cm long kitchen feet, and I will cut the other four larger ones at that size too.
Soft-Gell feet will be at the top plate, acting as isolation.
Harder - Gell feet (not plastic) will be placed at the bottom plate instead of spikes.
Definably it will be in the end, a simple good looking, and modernized speaker stand.
Total height estimation 57cm that makes it an totally low risk one
Speaker weight 13 Kilos.

Finally after one hour of careful planing I am ready to start cutting tomorrow.
I am using an old wooden drawer as base this would offer mechanical support in both edges, therefore I do not need a second person to hold the wood.
I did screw over the wood another wooden guide, straight lines with warranty.
Marked down all my cutting lines, and I did use masking tape over the good side of the wood so to avoid chipping.
I did everything by the book, it is 1:00am here, therefore in the new day I will continue my work.

End of the journey !
It is incredible how the bass frequencies spread in the room with the new stands, I never though that it would be such a difference to the better.

Yes they came out trully sweet looking, but I came up with an after thought that is to conect the too plates with a pole from the same wood as the bottom one.
Nothing fancy just a 53 x 12 x 3 cm, bolt on at the back, which would add even more stability and will help also as cables management solution. ( I am working on it right now )
