Well I have pushpins wrapped with wire from clothes hangers at a cost of $0. Atleast until I get my headphone cases and make a visit to ikea.

OK, my first very poor attempt, it serves it's purpose but it's not eye candy

OK. I was inspired by Hekoman and his Legos. So instead of the hardware store I went to Toys-R-Us!!

I didn't want to copy him with the Legos, so I figured I'd get K'Nex instead. Then I found this which I though kicked ass:

There was a bit of a learning curve but in the end, I'm happy with my creation:

Hardest part was getting it rigid enough to be functional. Had a few prototypes that failed miserably. This one is solid as a rock.

Struxx kit costed $40 Canadian. Still plenty of pieces left over. Maybe I'll add the roaring voice box and flashing eyes some time!

I had way too much fun with this...

A couple more pics, so you can see the 3-D nature of it.

My Dad has started using the new technique of finishing the wood, and they look even better now. I can't get over how phenomenal this specific one looks.

It uses Tiger Maple hardwood

My dad has received a lot of nice feedback with this headphone stand design, so I made a website for him to try and sell a few:
Handcrafted Headphone Stands by Von

The one currently on the website is by far his best to date. Those pictures do it no justice.

I'm very impressed with the way these turned out.

Put together what I had for my stand so far.

Steel pipe painted and mounted to a piece of Ipe. Not too happy with the finish on the wood yet and it needs some padding between the headphones and the pipe. But not so bad for $35.
