OK aphexii, spill the beans. What is the metal part from Ikea? I want one. Looks awesome

Main stand portion: Bjarnum Shelf Bracket 11''
Headphone holder post: Capita Leg 4''
Wire wrapping posts: Attest Knob

Its a bit more expensive than he noted though, his prices were from items in the returned section. Also, you end up with enough parts to make two stands and for a little extra, 4.

Thanks aphexii. I'm ordering the parts now. I guess you mean another set of the Attest Knob. Just making sure I don't miss anything.

Is it easy to get the base plates off the Capita legs, they are attached in the IKEA photo:

They weren't attached at all in the boxes. It was all separate parts.

Cool, definitely going to try this (well, give them to my Step dad to put together and lathe a base).

 

[aphexii]

If anyone is interested, I made a second Ikea Stand with the spare parts I had... Shoot me a PM...

Hey guys, I'm almost finished building my stand. It looks pretty much exactly the same as the ones above. One quick question, what's the best way to attach the pvc pipe to the base? Do you just glue it?

Thanks,
Steven.

@aphexii

That's the same stand that I have!!
But i screwed mine onto the desk, rather than a wooden panel. I have enough parts for another one, incase i ever need it, so that's good as well.

I would love to have one of these - any chance ??..

Here is my IKEA DIY stand by aphexii. The d5000 cord is quite a rats nest, but this seems to work well. I suck at photography, so sorry.

Heres my attempt, got a cheap lamp and took the head off it, couldnt get all the moulded plastic off hense the black tape, then got a guitar holder and screwed it in, didnt turn out how i had imagined it, but its not bad

I use a hole saw to cut a circle in the base the same diameter as the PVC.
