THE DIY HEADPHONE STAND THREAD

This one is slightly thinner than my last wood stand but weighs in at a solid 3kg! Also experimented with some pearl paint to which I added  a tiny pinch of deep blue metal flake! Not enough to notice straight off but when you look close or as your angle of view changes you get a little sparkle come through.  Its hard to capture the effect with the camera but I am quiet pleased how it came out.

  Mass producing them so I never need to buy a headphone stand again lol. I sent some out to be electroplated next I am going to cut some out of aluminum and get some anodized.

Does it mean you need to buy more Headphones so those HP stands are not empty?

Thanks I am messing around with different designs but I personally like this one, and it's built to last the cord hook is milled out and tapped. The shorter parts I threaded on a lathe. I wanted it to be sturdy I could have gone the easy route and just drilled all the way through and used screws but might as well do it right.

It's certainly got a look. I don't know if I'd find it more convenient than a mannequin head (glass ones look great), but it's really modern and classy. A+ work. I'm positive you could sell them for a reasonable price.
