THE DIY HEADPHONE STAND THREAD - Page 36

K'nex has gone all stupid in the last 6 or so years. They've been making weirder stuff, with more molded (1-use) pieces, and fewer of their rods and connectors. I've had K'nex for a while.

I'd say that Lego is much better for some things, but for practical and structural designs, K'nex taxes the cake. Just look at the weaponry on instructables!

I'm thinking of buying some K'nex on ebay, the place where you still can get it.

I'll also have to design-up a dual-headphone hanger. Perhaps I'll make it look like one of the designs here?

Now I'll use my head as a stand for several hours.

This is a stand I made from Ebony. The base and hanger are Gabon Ebony, while the pillar and hanger ends are Black & White Ebony.
The base has a slightly concave top to hold a cable if it's wrapped around the pillar. Finish is 5 coats of lacquer hand buffed between each coat for a glass smooth finish.

Hi
Here is my "system" on the shelf over my desk and monitors, simple, effective and costless as I already have some in stock since years :

My dad's in the process of finishing some sapele stands. They might be ready soon, so I'm looking forward to that.

The omega is the headphone, the headphone stand though is sapele wood (95% confident on that).

Sorry, I was asking about Sieveking Sound Omega stand.

There are four real-wood models available; Cherry, Maple, Zebrano and Walnut:
Cherry is a gorgeous slightly reddish color, very natural looking
Maple is European elegance defined, with a light custardy color
Zebrano is gorgeous, the zebrawood a magnificent complement to metal bodied headphones
Walnut is deep, rich and burnished, with an understated, solid appearance
