Headphones Stand

A headphone stand that I designed that is both easy to make and works really well.

You can get the extra thickness by gluing multiple pieces together, just make sure that what will be the front and back of the headphone stand are straight and parallel. You can also glue pieces of 12mm ply together for a funky look. Next grab your jigsaw or bandsaw and cut out the stand making sure to stay just on the outside of the lines. I then use a spindle sander to sand down to the line making sure all saw cuts are removed and that the curves are neat. If you don’t have a spindle sander then a small hand sander will work as well. Remove the paper template by softening with a heat gun then peeling off, or simply sand off. Sand the entire piece as best you can. This is the longest part for me as the finish you put on later is only as good as the sanding job you have done. I start at 80git, then move to 120g, 220g, 340g and finally 400g. The next step is to attach the cable holder. This one I used is just a drawer knob I found at my local hardware store. To attach this firstly cut the end off the screw with a dremel or hacksaw. Using a drill bit the same size as the screw drill a hole in the stand near the top almost as deep as the screw. Glue in the screw with superglue making sure to leave a part of the screw protruding to attach the knob. Be sure not to use too much superglue as it will run out of the hole and all over you nice sanding work. Before attaching the knob coat the headphone stand in your desired finish. I prefer to use wipe on or spray polyurethane. I find using a brush is always harder and messier. Finally attach the cable knob to the stand and your done! Download the template to make your own.
