DIY headphone stand

A special stand for headphones will be appreciated by lovers of music or games. In stores you can find a huge variety of models for different types of devices. However, it is possible to make a modern and stylish device on their own. Read on about why you need a stand and how to make it yourself.

To organize the most comfortable and convenient space for work and leisure, each thing should be in its place. Headphones are no exception. The stand allows you to:

• ensure safe and convenient storage of headphones and thereby extend their life;
• position the device in a conspicuous place and always have it at hand at the right time;
• to decorate the room with an interesting and bright design.

The issue of choosing a template should be taken especially seriously. Indeed, the beautiful and unusual design of the product is able to make it the highlight of the room. In addition, the design can simultaneously perform various functions: to keep the headphones in a certain position and have special openings for storing flash drives, wires and other small items. The following options are popular:

• Compositions of plastic pipes. This method is especially relevant after repairs and replacement of plumbing equipment.
• Metal forging. This type will be distinguished by durability.
• The wooden stand is convenient and easy to manufacture. It can be made from almost any log that has no knots.
• From the constructor "Lego", which you can take from children or buy a couple of packs in the store.

In this example, consider an interesting and modern version with USB LED backlight. It is necessary to prepare in advance:

• plank (pine);
• acrylic glass;
• hook for suspension;
• USB controller
• a sheet of paper, a pencil;
• a ruler;
• adhesive composition;
• drill, planer and other tools.

IMPORTANT!In general, the choice of template and manufacturing method depends on the available materials and tools, as well as the personal wishes of the owner of the headphones.

After you have prepared all the necessary materials and tools, you can begin the manufacturing process. Follow a certain sequence of actions:

• The base element of the stand is made from a piece of wood and acrylic glass. First, we cut out two circles of equal size from the tree. For example, it may be 18 cm.
• Next, draw a rod on the board that will hold the hook. Recommended support dimensions: 30 cm. - in height and 5 cm. In width.
• Then, using a glass cutter, cut out a circle of aluminum glass. In this case, the diameter should coincide with the workpiece made of wood.
• We insert the rod into the base, making holes in all the blanks in advance. All circles must be aligned with each other, and the outer edge is processed with sandpaper.
• On a mug of acrylic, we drill three holes for the LED strip.
• We cut a ring from the bottom of the circle so that the tape can be placed there.
• We insert the rod into the stand, drill a recess for the hook in it and insert it.
• Next, the elements are glued with a polyurethane adhesive and dried for 5-6 hours.
• Then the USB controller is connected to the LED strip using a heat shrink tube.
• At the bottom of the base, a hole is cut under the wire and an LED strip is placed inside the ring. It is fixed with glue and the wiring is brought out.

ATTENTION!In the above example, do not make wooden mugs that are too small, as the stand must be stable under the weight of the headphones.

The image or logo on the base of the stand will look unusual. It can be printed on a printer and applied to the upper part of wood. Cutting can be done with any tool that is available. It is convenient to outline the edge of the figure with a wood burning device. Here are a few tips that will help you do the job more efficiently and quickly:

• First, a landmark is drawn on the board with a simple pencil, and only then the drawing is cut out with a jigsaw.
• It is better to use the concave shape of the stand in the middle: like an hourglass.
• As a hook, you can buy in a hardware store an ordinary hanger-hook for a bathroom.
• Wooden surfaces require sanding to prevent scratches.
• Wooden elements are easy to paint with stain.
• Pay attention to the glue: it must be polyurethane, not carpentry.
• Remove excess glue in time so that after drying the product has a beautiful and neat appearance.

REFERENCE!Two types of sandpaper should be prepared: with coarse and fine grit.

Thus, making a headphone stand is quite simple with your own hands. We hope that this article will be useful and informative. To diversify the appearance, you can show imagination and cut out the holder in the form of an interesting figure. Also use combinations of various materials: plexiglass, metal, plastic and others.
