If any of you know a hobbiest woodworker you could get him to make you something similar to the IQ stand. Would cost you about $10 in scrap lumber for the two jigs. And then figuring the base as 6" x 10" x 1/2" thick, and the top hoop as 8" tall, 3" deep and 1/4" thick, the lumber would cost about $10 (using walnut as the base and maple as the hoop, because I like walnut and maple). Add in $5 for the epoxy and $5 for the finish, and you've got yourself a nice headphone stand for $30 worth of goods (and only $20 for the next one, since you've already got the jig).
Add in a half case of beer to pay for the labour.
