The peg that the headphones sit on I turned in a lathe so its very nice and smooth.  That small dark hole you see at the joint between the pin and the stalk is where I drilled for the 1/8" pin.  I also used a pin in the bottom base after I tapped and screwed the stalk to disallow any rotation and make a tighter fitment between the base and stalk.  This thing will last forever, it is VERY solid.
 
Its definitely more simplistic than others seen in this thread, there are some serious pieces of artwork here, but it works really well.
 
Hope you like it!

This works out very well for my HE-6:

I got mine at Fred Meyer, but evidently Home Depot has them as well.

So I wanted to make a headphone stand but wasn't sure how to go about actually doing it.  This thread inspired me to just look around my apt. to see if there was anything I could use for the time being and voila:
 

 
A paint roller sticking out of a mutilated Rockband drum kit.  (srry for the crap webcam pic)

Congratulations, a very smart solution! I love your idea!

It just screws right in to the wall/stud behind it, then the black plastic cover shown in the pic snaps on over the two screws. You could use toggle screws or wall anchors if there's no stud behind the drywall where you want to put it.

I actually didn't make the cable, the guy I bought it from did. It sounds great but not wound very tight. Im planning on making a very, very nice cable in the future.
