Step 3Cut the PVC Pipe
The PVC Pipe makes up the height of the speaker stand. I needed mine to be about 48" high, so I cut my PVC 46 1/2" long...remember that you need to subtract the height of you plywood from the total height of the stands to figure out how long you need to cut the pipe.
This isn't an instructable about cutting PVC, but I posted some details on my site about doing exactly this: Cutting PVC
The easiest thing to do is find a way to keep it from rolling (I clamped a 2/4" in front of mine) and hold it down (I used the sand I bought for this project). Then, Cut next to the electrical tape that you wrapped around the pipe to keep it straight. Cut carefully (and slowly) and you should end up with fairly straight cuts.
