Where in IKEA do you find that (the metal part)?  I tried looking last time I went and couldn't find it.

 
I think I just went and asked for it saying I am looking for the EKB Bjarnum....either the living room or the office area...just don't mention why you need it...the lady was looking at me like some weirdo

@perr - i don't get what exactly do you need. the capita are 4 inches long. here is a more detailed explanation on the hole for the bolt - http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackfeathers/2816527404/in/set-72157607014052490/

Here is my personal stand with a pedestal for a portable rig.
 

 
That looks amazing.  I love it!

@sp3llv3xit I don't see any copper but nevertheless one word comes to mind: (actually two) STEAM PUNK !

It doesn't look like much, but given I'm only about $7 into it for some dowel and PVC connectors I'm not overly fussed - it will live in my guitar room.
 


And, while not very "DIY", I picked this up for the bedroom:

Sunday morning.  Time for the "Tap Handle of the Week" headphone stand.

Improved on an earlier build.  The headphones rest is cut to swallow wing design.  I also utilized a thinner steel rod as the goose-neck to heighten that illusion of a floating headphones-rest.  The portable rig pedestal has been cleaned and tightened.

Looks fantastic. That Beyer plaque is still awesome btw, wish I had one for my DT880s.

DIY Headphone Stand
--------------------------------
This was a about $1.00 cost project for me...items have been in the garage for years.

!!!  Nothing is too good for my refurbished Shure SRH440 headphones from Ebay ('sock mod' completed upon arrival)  !!!

MATERIALS:
Glue (Permatex Clear Silicone Adhesive Sealant)
Wine Bottle
Spray Paint - Flat Black
1" Diameter Wooden Dowel or PVC Pipe
1/2" Felt strip (it is sticky on one side)
Aquarium Rocks or Pea Gravel or Marbles
Swim Noodle (3.75" outer diameter / 1" inner diameter)
1 - 6" x 6" Ceramic Tile from the flooring department of Lowes ($0.88) This was the only thing I had to buy...already had all of the rest

TOOLS:
Funnel
Small Serrated Knife

NOTE:
You can drink the wine at any time...before or during the project...rinse the bottle and let it dry.

STEPS:
[1]    Cut a one foot length off of the end of a swim noodle.
[2]    Cut a one foot length of 1" dowel and insert it through the middle length of swim noodle.
[3]    Spray the one foot segment of the swim noodle/dowel with paint and allow it to dry.
[4]    Put a strip of felt along the bottom edges of the ceramic tile.
[5]    Fill about one-third of the wine bottle with aquarium rocks, or pea gravel, or marbles (use funnel).  Be sure to put the lid on the wine bottle to prevent glue from dripping inside.
[6]    Cut a hole, slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the top of the wine bottle, 6" from the end of the swim noodle, until you hit the dowel, which is inside of the swim noodle.
[7]    Pour some glue into the hole and twist the wine bottle (with lid attached) into the hole.
[8]    Put glue around the bottom edge of the wine bottle and center it on the ceramic tile.
[9]    Let it dry...be patient!
[10]  Hang up your headphones!

***  If you have very heavy/large cans, you could use two wine bottles and a longer section of swim noodle.  ***

This was a fun project, wandering around the house and garage, thinking "what can I hang my headphones on?"
 
 

 
I'm not skilled/talented like some of you...just a mom!

MATERIALS:

Wine Bottle
Swim Noodle
Spray Paint - Flat Black
Aquarium Rocks or Pea Gravel or Marbles

TOOLS:
Small Serrated Knife
Funnel?
Elmer's Glue?

NOTE:
You can drink the wine at any time...before or during the project...rinse the bottle and let it dry.

STEPS:
[1]    Cut a one foot length off the end of a swim noodle.
[2]    Spray the one foot segment of the swim noodle with paint and allow it to dry.
[3]    Fill about one-third of the wine bottle with aquarium rocks, or pea gravel, or marbles.
[4]    Cut a hole, slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the top of the wine bottle, through the center of the swim noodle, until you are to the central hole/void of the swim noodle.
[5]    Twist the wine bottle into the hole (optional - glue in place).
[6]    Hang up your headphones.

If you have very heavy/large cans, you could use two wine bottles and a longer section of swim noodle, or you could put a wooden dowel through the central void of the swim noodle....I am still thinking about possible tweaks.

I see what you did there.

I added 2 slits to allow IEMs to hang around. Hehe...  Really, I figure that the IEM cables can benefit from the vertical placement to straighten the cables in between uses.

Also, I sanded the edges to make the pedestal more round.  In the spirit of making this thing more round, I replaced the drawer pull handle with round knobs.




 

 

 

 

 


Save for the hard wood, most of the stuff there are sourced inside the house.  A DIY project that can be easily completed in a Sunday afternoon.
