Headphone stand project

[Nup]

Hey all, 

 

So I started this project last year and it's been on hold since - the idea was to use some scraps of leather and old cpus to do something, and that something ended up being a headphone stand. 

 

It went pretty well, but was never completed, the main issue was that i found no good ways of attaching it to the side of a desk, as originally intended. Which is my main reason for posting, does anyone have any idea/suggestions, any previous experience with mounting and such? 

 

I know there are quite a few flaws, and revision i'd make, but it was a spur of the moment thing. Any ideas are welcome though. It pains me to see it just sitting there. 

 

Here's a picture of it as of being nearly finished (minus the pins of course, I have no pictures of it without pins). It's a little big and i dont know know to re-size (yes, yes skrub and all)

 

 

And a link if you're interested in more of the build's steps. (Don't expect good quality photos )

 

Thanks for reading, - Nup.

flip the leather piece, attach it at the edge, dril a hole through the processor, attach with a screw

The leather form the band? It's not visible from any angles that it would be used at. 

 

I would have liked  to be able to mount and dismount it, that way it could come with me to and from college, and if i can avoid drilling the desk i would like that :3

 

Thanks no less though, A screw type mount could work it its "slottable"

I've just got a bare screw in my wall holding my headphones  :rolleyes:

 

Seriously, I didn't even bother with a wall plug, just straight into bare plaster! *living life on the edge*

Maybe you could make L shaped bracket with holes at the end, glue it to the processor and screw it to the table from bottom ? Just an idea.

command strips

for putting it together, just make sure to use a leather sewing needle and some stronger thread.  i would use fishing line, but something like quilting thread should work alright

Haha pretty hardcore alright, no ragrets I kid i kid.

I like that idea alright, maybe something for it to slide into from desk to desk. Thanks!

Ahh i see, yes. I took the lazy route and just glued it with some leather glue :3 I was thinking of adding thread for some more colour/aesthetic.

thats probably a workable idea.  do you have more pictures? maybe the other side?

I do yes, here is a link from above https://imgur.com/a/OHBja !

Sure, anytime. Or you could go with something like a U bracket so it's supported from the top and bottom and you can take it from desk to desk without any hardware. Question is how stable that would be or how long the beams would have to be to make it stable.

alright.  there really not much of a good way to mount it without a screw.  theres really no flat surface on it, so not many places to put any tape or something.  you could maybe superglue it, but a screw would be a better option at that point

[Frankie]

I got it. Why reinvent the wheel. Did you ever saw PC racing wheel mounting they use pretty much just a different c clamp designs. Make one or buy one that suits your needs and you're golden.

How do you mean? I cant picture that Its a bit of a rickety design anyway and would be top heavy but yeah, at least it'd get some use.

Yeah, its pretty awkward.. As i said, i would make it very differently today yeah, I have some resin i could use to make a very sturdy hold, especially with the old pins.

Oooh yeah!! that could work well. I'll be clap shopping so... Quite an obvious idea in the end, like you said thnks!

I meant it like a C clamp design without the clamp and then it came to me.

Yeah pretty much, should of figure it out faster. No problem dude.

Haha yep! awesome, i'll be shopping 'round so

Little modification here and there, resin it up to the CPU, bam golden.

i feel like you might want to encase the pins in resin, then you can mount it a bit easier
