Nice one!!
Do you notice any weird stretching on the headband of those akg's when they hang like that?
I left mine hanging from the headband like that overnight and it looked pretty oblong the next morning when I removed it from the stand..
Nice solid construction though! I like the two support bar look.
That's one very ambitious stand

I wanted to setup a dual holder above my desktop that would rotate to allow easier access to the phones. I read through all of the posts in this thread and "borrowed" a few ideas! There is some great looking stuff in this thread and some definitely unique ideas! Some good humor, too!
I used 3/4" CPVC pipe for the holder and a 3/4" shower door roller as a bearing for it to rotate on. The way it is setup, the holder hangs from a bolt through the middle of the roller lying flat on its side. The roller actually stays stationary in the wood block and the inner bearing rotates.
I picked up a cheap wood base to attach things to and covered the pipe with insulating foam. I used 3/4" insulation, but with the larger diameter end caps 1" foam would have worked better. There is a small 3/8' - 1/2" gap on the bottom of the foam, but it isn't noticeable as installed. I put an open screw eye in each end of the pipes to hold the headphone connectors. Total cost of the project was around $14, and I have way more pipe, glue and foam left over than I used for the project! I've attached a couple photos of the completed installation and a few of the build.
This is only my second post on Head-Fi and my first attempt at posting (embedding rather than attaching) photos. If it doesn't work out right, just attribute it to the learning curve of life.
