Quotes from Romy in blue :

I do not see that you imbedded into your plaster construction any tightening points from a stronger material. I mean: the holes in plaster – how strong you will be able to tight the bolts before the plaster will give up? Did you think what you will be using for the bolts or studs bases?

Romy,

Here is what is inside the smooth exterior... I got them from a nuclear sub

Above : Heavy brass threaded plugs about 1.25" deep with steel hooks; it all gets buried in a mix of hemp and hard plaster. The brass is for
corrosion resistance against the oxidization prompted by the plaster  while curing (the circular wood and the bolts are only used to locate the  anchors while the plaster sets).

Nice Pussies you have out there, what are their names?

Cat_Demitour_01.jpg

Above : Demitour in the workshop (Demitour is French for U-Turn... Name  given by previous "owner", who had ported box speakers) Note : This is what happens to your ears when you listen to ported box speakers! (just kidding... Demitour's ears were torn several times while defending his erritory... He is a very fierce fighter)

Cat_Sixt.jpg

Above : Sixt in the workshop (He was cat N° 6 for the previous "owner") Sixt loves amplifiers; probably the heat, maybe the magnetics... He also loves food
