    Wooden adjustable feet

    Hi!
    An easy way to have adjustable feet with a bit of style. I was not happy with common furniture products, commonly available in local shops. I decided to use Afromosia wood and a M10 nut simply pressed and glued with epoxy.
    I will apply boiled linseed oil with 50% turpentine.

    I like to use 3/8 inch x 2 inch hex head coach bolts in the end of the legs of any thing I make to sit on the concrete paving out side. They are easy to adjust and keep the timber out of the rain water and helps to stops the timber from rotting.

    Thanks for the advice! I'm thinking what to use under the wood, because these round discs will be glued to the speaker, the nut faces the ground. The first idea was to use a normal hex bolt (machined round) with felt pad, I saw some furniture design with junction but they are too ugly for the purpose. A round surface could help also to match the ground and the setting of the speaker.
