THE DIY HEADPHONE STAND THREAD

  Wow, there is a lot of creativity, ingenuity and workmanship on display in this thread - a total blast to look through here!  
 
Last weekend I went into a headphone specialty shop in Shibuya here in Tokyo, and all around the store they had about a hundred of these really cool, kind of industrial-art stainless steel headphone stands for their display headphones.  I said to the owner that he HAD to either sell me one or tell me the name of the company that made them.  He just leaned close to me and whispered, in English, `banana hanger`.  

lol this actually made me laugh.  You could probably make a lot of money if you re-branded some banana hangers as "Headphone Stands" and sold them for 400% the price.

And insert special keywords such as Hi-Fi... 'Cause you know... Banana hangers can totally be high fidelity.... :p

  A couple of photos of the new stand. I tried to add some angularity from the previous version. The completed version will follow later on, but a little photoshop (2nd pic) helps bring an idea of what it'll look like (should be nicer still). The lower spindles allow the user to wrap the cables, if they so choose. I may tack on a couple of knobs to the base for further cable wrapping adjustments.



Nice and simple.

  Some additional colors and a different wood type. I'll soon be working on a 2nd, 3rd and 4th design. The 2nd will be the largest and will accommodate up to 4 headphones. Included below are the two racks I've built, Time permitting I'll be building a second one for a bedroom set

I'm actually thinking of supping up a Bamboo Banna stand I found at work today in about a week...  I'll have the pics for you guys and I'll be doing some cutting, some glueing and doing some fabric work <3

Ouch!  No use crying over spilled milk, but beer - now that's a different story...
 
Estate sales, family, friends (I know a few that have owned/run bars), sometimes I barter for them at bars - I give them my card, and tell them when they no longer carry that brand, I'm interested, some I've gotten from Ebay.  A few at antique stores.
