Foundation Designer stands replica

I own a pair of Graham LS5/9 that I use with the mythical and rare Foundation Designer stands for Rogers 5/9.

My plan is to upgrade to another bigger Graham speaker so, the original Graham stands are not the best in my opinion, I would like to build a new pair of clones of Foundation Desginer, but bigger.

Do somebody know the details of the originals? Materials used, and so on, in particular?

thanks

Yes, it should be easy. I overdid it with the Response 1 stands and had six pillars on each. The welder charged $250.00 for the job and when I picked them up said that he would never do it for that price again. It was too much trouble.

@jjss49 yes mythical because many tried to copy them but, the original sounded always better than the copy

so I need the secrets of that formula

please do not transform this topic in a general discussion about stands, I need precise instructions about these ones. thank you

What is it that you're looking for? The dimensions are clear because you own them. All that would be left to determine would be the type of metal, and I doubt that they're aluminum, so that leaves steel, right?

I'm looking for knowing the type of metal, but most of all the kind of filling, it was a formula with multiple materials, Cliff Stone wrote this on another forum, and the kind of paint over them

Type of paint? I think that we're getting into Peter Belt territory now.
