How hard can it be Eb? - here's a trunk I made out of the same flooring material last year, so a speaker should be a doddle!I've got my nose over one of these

A linisher will "thickness" safely or if you're feeling brave/stupid (looks at self in mirror) try clamping a belt sander facing upwards.More research needed obviously
Most sealing oils will leave a veneer but this can be knocked back with wire wool. A final application of beeswax looks nice.

The belt sander in the vice works great
- it was feeding them through the band saw that was a bit tense

It's a constant battle and been going on as long as the coaster telling. She moves them because they are not straight. duh! Doesn't she know I have got the "geo" just right and even measured the distance to the listening position from each speaker because I am not allowed to put the listening chair in the optimum place between the speakers, and dialled in some delay on one side. Who knew that at 44.1Khz, sound travels around 1/3 inch for each cycle (so I read but did not verfiy), so the shorter length has been delayed by 24 cycles....being 8 inches closer ot my ears than the other.I have found wife and speakers are mutually exclusive
Oh, they even have coasters on top to bring it back on topic!

It terrifies me - which is a good thing I think in the interest of keeping all of my digits.... but it's soooo useful.Many a band saw operator are minus a few digits including a mate of mine. He lost 2

So, are you seriously suggesting that 5mm high coasters are significantly more stable than, say 12mm high ones? I would have thought they need to be something like 50mm before there was any kind of instability problem. What sort of earthquakes / typhoons / gravitational anomalies / etc are you experiencing at your place?
