Inspired by the genius of LFF in the thread How To Make A Ghetto Can Stand (now without pics), I needed to do my own ghetto stand, but... The result has been better than I thought. And cheaper it is impossible

Materials:
Empty spindle.
Ceys two component epoxy putty.
Pretty mineral water bottle (Solán de Cabras).
Black marker to paint the epoxy.

The key is the epoxy putty. It has to be really strong. The Ceys one welds the bottle to the spindle and it is impossible to detach both pieces. The bottle is thin enough not to make so much pressure against the earpads.

Here are some photos with various headphones:

Nice job.

Ghetto as the projects in Paterson, NJ.
Very clever idea. I like it.

LOL!!! Thanks for the compliment and credit!

I figured nobody would look at that thing again so I deleted the pics. Boy was I wrong.

Yours looks less ghetto than mine though. It does look familiar though.

Kudos on a job well done.
