Believe me every time I get new headphones
 
my wife gets something.  Usually shoes or clothes, how boring can you get when there are so many awsome headphones availiable.

How about a shiny new headphone box for your wife?  Some of them, like HiFiMAN and Beats, are Quite Impressive!

I'm looking for suggestions for a headphone stand that functionally doubles into something else. Last month I built a stand that also works as a pretty awesome led lamp. Now I'm at a loss. Can someone fill in the blank?

Hi,
 
I have now turned this : 
 

 
Into this : 




 
 
This is what I did : 
 
 
1. Remove lightholder (drilling) and other details
2. Saw of a bit in the middle
3. Drill new hole for screw in middle
4. Change the design of the metal structure to get a higher and more stable stand
5. Filler for middle to hide most of the rough metall and the screw. The filler also acted as extra holder to get a a fixed structure(the screw was not enouth).
6. Sand it
7. Clean it
8. Spray Painted 5 layers with mat black paint.
9. Mount, feets, softhandle and rubber nubs
 
This is what I could do while living in an apartment, if I hade more tools like welder it would have been a better end product.

Hi Eric nice work, I am envious of your creativity, did I see some of your stands on the MD site recently with some orders

?  I have a couple of new stands at a rough prototype stage at the moment which are a departure from my normal wooden ones like below and am waiting for some materials to arrive to start putting them together. I have had something in mind along similar lines of the stand with the draw in the base as well.
 
  
 
 
Keep up the good work mate, I enjoy seeing your creations
 
Regards Jamie

Thanks Jamie. Coming from you it has truer meaning for me as I am likewise a big fan of yours (I would love to someday have one of your beautiful stands!). As for MD, they reached out to me a few weeks back and wanted to know if I could mass produce the Z stand. Seems pretty good so far, despite the devilish outcries from would-be-woodworkers (for whom everything is easy and who evidently can build anything, but only choose not to :wink: )

Keep em coming Jamie. Can't wait to see the new works finished.

There's been some great stuff lately--impressive, guys! 
 
Eric- love that last one--very different design; reminds me of a giraffe!  My daughter has a set of Denons D600s and they'd look great on that one in her room!
 
Jamie- the finish you put on those is impressive...what do you use?  Gloss poly?  And, I love the wood in that middle one in the second picture.
 
sp3llv3xit-  All I can say is wow...still wondering exactly how you did that...
 
I'll contribute something I made a while back-  this one's a lot simpler than what I usually do...the pix are from a post I put up today (trying to sell the HD650s...)

Thanks I have always liked the look of laminated wood, neat choice of handle for your cable winder.
 
The timber in the middle one is Spalted Beech. For the finish I use a home brew wipe on Tung oil + varnish mix to seal the wood and enhance the natural colour followed by a automotive clear coat to give a little bit of sheen to the finish.

Was getting annoyed today of having my headphone and headset laying on my table, computer etc.
Quick solution - works pretty well, but needs some paint or something.
Pretty neat with built in storage as well. :)

Sweet idea I kind of like it as it is, it has a functional honesty about it. Are you going to cut a slot out of the lid so you can put the cable inside?
