Fed up with your Foculpod feet not staying on deck when you move it?
A few mins and that problem was sorted.

M6 threaded bar, Superglue and... the magic ingredient.

A 1941 Southbend 9" lathe.
Careful to seat the Foculpod true in the chuck / jaws. Drill her out with a 4.5mm sharp drill - seats nicely around the thread.

Then a bit of super glue and sorted.

The threaded bar is set 8mm into the Foculpod. Plenty of pod left for all it's acoustic damping magic to work.
They screw up into the thread nicely seated with a little easing of the edges as usual.
They really do stay put too!
