I wanted a stand to take two cans and ended up making a headphone stand to match my Bottlehead Crack.  It has a Carbon fibre body with solid Oak ends and two tubes running through for keeping the cables tidy. I still need to line the tubes out with a leather or fabric and sand out the hole saw marks on the Oak but you can get the concept.. I have a couple of other ideas I am going to try out also.

They look made for each other!  Very nice wood work!

 

[daviddoock]

that is just awfully beautiful!

Carbon fiber and wood... looks really good. Is that a E9 knob and do you think you'll stain/clear coat the wood? If you kept it light I think it'd look really good.

 

[JamieMcC]

Thanks for the positive feedback all.
 
The Oak will get a couple of coats of Danish oil followed by some rubbed on wax which will then be buffed off.
 
I am not sure what the type of knob is I am looking for another one as I think the one on the moment is not quiet right. I have a few offcuts of carbon left and might try cutting/making a carbon disc and just sit it on top and see if that helps.
 
There is some further info on the carbon work and Crack build on my gallery page on the Bottlehead form if anyone is interested.

Hello All,
 
I also used the hose rack hook from Lowes, and a 3 inch rubber plumbing coupling. The total cost was around $20. I then got online and searched for the Beatles Drumhead Logo of my favorite band and......voila!.........I love it!..........they hold my Sennheiser HD 439s quite nicely. It was easy to do and you can post any of your favorite bands logos from drumheads or otherwise to the round opening left by the 3 inch rubber coupling.
 
I actually should have placed the wires in the opening in the back as it can be put in the rubber hose coupling in the back. Makes it look even more clean and neat.

I really like how well this turned out.  When you used the 3 inch rubber coupling, is it held in place by pressure, or is it just sitting on the top of the rack hook?  I'm wondering if the coupling may easily come off when you remove your headphones.

The 3 inch coupling simply fit over the bracket and the sides of the bracket hold the coupling nice and snug. Do not have to worry about it coming off.
 
Thanks for nice comment.

Very. very nice.....I have the same Lowes rack hook...I think I will grab a 3inch  rubber coupling.....where did you get the Beatles Drumhead ...or did you make it.....would loce to get a Cheap Trick one!
 
Great work, by the way.

First of all, thanks for comments........I got the Beatles Drumhead off of Google Images and just enlarged it to fit the 3 inch coupling. The only thing I might do different, is that I wish I would have had it laminated. I may still do that. Otherwise, I get to look at that famous Drumhead Logo and be reminded of the Beatles each time I listen to the cans......Do the same for Cheap Trick!.........Heck, one could even print out a dozen and feature a new logo each month as the featured band of the month!.......
 
Happy listening!

I know some people find the heads disturbing but I actually like how they add character to an otherwise blank white wall.  
They also get to showcase the headphones in their intended forms.
