Hi Drew !
So many nice stands.....
Nice to hear your Dad will be back !
Let us know when he restarts the hp stands thing....

Thankfully the family emergency is over.
Right now my dad is remodeling the house this summer, so he stopped making stands.
He mentioned that he may start making stands when the house is done.  Nothing certain.

So off I went to Home Depot and picked up a couple of those hose hooks and some sticky backed foam for my head gear.  Worked perfectly for less than $25.  My 700's are hanging at the side and my 25's are hanging on the desk.  Brilliant!

Inspired by ESCS and CapTouch (projects in the DIY forum) - I spent $5 at home depot, and spent a half hour drilling and spray painting ... 
 
3/8th all thread, a 3" PVC connector, two 1/2", 5x5" maple boards I had in the big box of stuff glued together... I recessed a hex nut into the bottom board, and capped it inside the tube with an acorn nut - rather than going all the way through. 
 
Eventually, I'll drop a 3/4" copper tube over the all thread (maybe shorten it slightly) - finish the base more nicely (or replace), and put a leather pad... but flat black for now works just fine.

I had an idea for a 28" wide wooden double shelf with a center divider that would have room for a couple amps, dacs, one drawer for accessories - and had risers on the sides with a pipe between them (sort of a small closet rod idea) - that would hold 5 easily. Could even incorporate a power distribution port... 
 
Would be easy to build a double ended stand that suspended a pipe between them to hang the cans on. 
 
You could also wall mount a few pipe stand offs and use the whole wall as a rack.

For any fan of the [size=small]SIEVEKING SOUND stand here something very close for much less. Here's the link from eBay[/size]

There is also a clear version from the same seller. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CLEAR-HEADPHONE-HEADSET-STAND-AKG-Sennheiser-Grado-AudioTechnica-SIEVEKING-SOUND-/200658108240?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eb827bf50#ht_1269wt_1247

Sorry to bump!
 
I just bought some PVC and wood, spent about 12$. I'm looking to either make an elbow or "L" shape like these seen on the forums: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1046/930707343_e5fe1ae09d.jpg and http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa118/grey_massacre/stand.jpg or  a "T" similar to this http://www.headphile.com/img191.jpg
 
I'm wondering how you guys attach the PVC to the wooden base.. I was thinking a circular drill bit straight or halfway through and some strong wood/plastic glue, weighted for 12-24hours. And to mount the PVC to PVC either on a T or L to use plastic glue, also for 24hours. Sanding first of course.
 
Any other tips?

Look at post #1 in this thread.  http://www.head-fi.org/t/249671/the-diy-headphone-stand-thread I used 2" pipe and mounted it to the stand by cutting a 2" diameter hole with a hole saw. glue isn't necessary, it's a snug fit.
 

 

[Boyiee]

Did you use a PVC joint or cut a 45 degree angle in 2 pieces? I see a lot that look like they are jointed as they have seams but are flush

 

[liamstrain]

Just make one 45 degree cut - then rotate the pieces. If you cut straight - they'll line right up at at 90 degree bend. 

 

[fatcat28037]

Yes 1 45 deg. cut and join using PVC cement. The end cap is a PVC end cap I cut down to make less deep. To cut the pipe I use a 200 tooth laminate blade on a cut-off (chop) saw though an 80 tooth carbide tip blade will work, just take the cut very slow.
