The second I saw that I hoped it glowed...then it did!  Amazing job!  Now, what did you use... 

Thanks a lot guys! 

I used the plexi from this ceiling light...

and the only reason I did it, it was because I had a spare one from an RMA

Then I used a rosette and I made two holes to fit the plexi and I also made 3+3 holes to fit 3+3 leds from each side of the plexi...

Oh I forgot. I also sleeved the power cable :P

£430 might be just a touch out of my price range to recreate this :(

Impressive use of bad/RMA stuff....might have to find something ikea like to replicate this with...

Just picked one of these up from a local hardware store, cost me 2€ and works like a treat. Thanks for the tip :D
And kudos on the Grados, just read the review on Innerfidelity.

headphone stand + glass enclosure to keep off dust much like displays where people get to "look but dont touch" type of thing, I have experience in metal and woodwork but not much in glass

You might want to look for glass clock covers, plenty of different sizes around, and having grown up next to one I can tell you that they are quite prone to breaking :D

Nice :D
 

"clock glass dome" gives pretty nice google results :D

I'd recommend the acrylic ones, can't really tell from the glass ones without touching and can take a lot more abuse than the real glass ones.

And we need pics when done :P

Here's my new diy stand.. Weights in about 7kg :P

Very nice job!

Good for arm curls as well when the cans are off it.

It looked smaller in the first photo. Then you put the Stax on them and I understood why it weighs 7kg. Looks great though.
