How To Make A DIY Headphone Stand - Woodworking

▸ Support the Show on Patreon - goo.gl/w3pg2j
In this video I build a stand for my headphones. I go over how I came up with the design. How to create compound miters or bevels more easily. How to use tapes as clamps. And more. I also talk problems I had in fabricating this piece, and how I thought around them. In the beginning and end I touch on music and art. Hope you all enjoy!

You are making some of the best woodworking videos out there! Keep it up!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Man...appreciate the encouragement! BTW. I have one on the back burner that is very similar to one you just put out...so I'm going to have to reference your video. I think I have a good audio joke planned for when I reference yours. We'll see how it comes out.

[@MakeSomething]

Looking forward to it!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Completely...some of the best videos out there!

Truth!

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Chris, you're killing me with these awesome videos! Loving the voice overs, killer motion graphics/drawings and really dig these smaller projects. Much more approachable for me!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks! Glad you're digging the videos and projects. If you feel like take a crack at it...go for it. Just send me a pic :)

[@thesnoringgoatman]

i love how you go from being in depth about the angles in your cuts to just sort of winging it

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Haha. I fly by the seat of my pants.

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Nicely done Chris!

[@Everything4Some1]

I gotta say, I really love the sort of modern woodworking you got going. not just in your ideas or in you incredibly constructed videos, but simply your persona, I guess. I've recently gotten into simple woodworking ( rings ) and I'm loving it, but to be honest I haven't found many young men near my age to fully sink into the hobby. You're an inspiring man and I'm loving all your videos and content. God Bless!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Evan...appreciate the kind words :)

[@naterogers9427]

I like your ideology about everything can be art. Ive been saying since i was a kid that art is the foundation for every in life

[@debhess3852]

Please don't change a thing Chris, and the music was just fine. Always a pleasure to watch your videos.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Deb. Appreciate that. It came out OK. But I like when my friend Chris does it more. Plus it is less work :)

[@seantjohnson]

I am building this over the weekend!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Nice. Tag me on instagram :)

[@duncangordon7404]

Product Designer from Scotland here, love your videos man. Big fan of the tone you set throughout and the overall style you approach your work with. Keep it up!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Duncan...really appreciate that. What kind of stuff do you design? Greetings from the US

[@duncangordon7404]

I design various giftware ranges and manufacturing tooling for a drinks company in London. I always loved and very much miss being in the workshop in university, your garage is the dream for further down the line when I'm out of London. Where in the US are you based? Can I ask, is it sketchup you use predominantly for your CAD?

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Hey Duncan. Nice. That's good that you're in an indisustry where you can use your skills/creativity, and I'm sure you'll have opportunities to get back to the things you want to design down the road. I'm in Southern California, and sketchup is the only CAD I use. Its either that or pencil and paper.

[@timflagstad8411]

Excellent craftsmanship! I like the idea of the painters tape to keep the joints tight while the glue dried.

[@codacreator6162]

Always find myself coming back here for inspiration in design and ideas! Take away all the fancy tools and what you get to see is a true artisan with the sensibilities of a poet and a talent in woodworking that's unparalleled. Thanks for this! Like listening to Anthony Bourdain talk about local cultures in ways that really have an impact on the soul.

[@ethanswoodwork6921]

You are awesome at what you do not just what you make , what you talk about, you show how to woodwork and give advice , keep it up

[@doubleV4]

When you had three designs side by side, I knew that you were going for the middle one. You had same exact shape when you made the cabinet few videos back. But I like that shape, and I think it little bit makes for your style.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Tapio...you know me too well :)

[@gamingrchase6041]

FINALLY! A good looking easy to build headphone stand! Thanks for this!!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

You're welcome :)

[@studiohenes1853]

From this simple tree you Chris did something beautiful, I'm flattered

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks :)

[@2testtest2]

This is a really cool design. And no need to worry about the quality of the music. It is way better than most woodworking videos here on youtube. I must say though, I was a little surprised when you cut the tapers at the beginning. My instinct would be to build it all and glue it up. then cut the tapers. That way you don't have to worry about how to hold the pieces while you are working, and the tapers are guaranteed to lign up.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Neistridlar. I thought about doing that...Too big for the table saw, but you could do it on the band saw. I was worried that I would get some kind of crazy tear out or something though. If I had to make multiple. I'd definitely try it out and be willing to sacrifice one...b/c that would save a ton of time and make it simple.

[@brianvisek]

this guy should have alot more subscribers

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Brian...just spread the good word :)

[@ciarfah]

I like how you describe angles in terms of "degrees off of 90" Makes the cuts seem less arbitrary. Great video :)

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks. I often struggle with that when describing things. A lot of cabinets I make are technically 75* and 105*, but saying 15 less/more than 90 seems to describe it better.

[@hugomarduran2326]

Thanks Nelson. Yeah. That's how I always was as a viewer. I liked the stuff I was watching, but never thought about clicking the thumbs up. If everyone does it, it really helps in terms of the way the video is recommended, and growing the audience, etc... so I really appreciate it.

[@dstarr3]

I really dig that design. I've been wanting to build a headphone stand for a while now, but could never find a design I liked. This, though, I really dig it.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks Dave. Feel free to use it for yourself. Appreciate it!

Great Video but next time can you please put the diagrams and designs in the description so we can do it to

[@alexweeks9707]

Have to say, I have always been a fan of Woodworking videos, and living vicariously through them. I've watched several different channels, and was recommended to you Via KZbin. After watching a couple of your videos, I must say, I have fallen in love with your style. The voice over with the soft acoustic music in the back makes it for easy listening, as well as easier to retain the information I learn. When my paycheck hits, you will be receiving another Patreon Subsciber or whatever the name is. You have amazed me. Continue the good work. Would love to have a chat with you in the future. Cheers.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Hey Alex...That is awesome - thanks! I'm always happy to help in any way I can, so feel free to get in touch via email, here, etc... I get a good number of messages so i can't always respond right away, but I do try to get back to people.

made this out of cardboard. thank you for ur beautiful design.

[@SuicideNeil]

That's a damn-sight better than the one I made a few years ago- I took a couple kitchen worktop samples ( 20x15x4cm ) and screwed them together to make an inverted T shape, then finished them with a few coats of Danish Oil. Crude but effective- I think I may have to make a new stand after seeing this video, now that I have a band saw with a tilting table...

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Hey Neil. Thanks! I say you go for it. Just be careful with that new saw :)

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks C. :)

[@markwarner5554]

To cut the taper, I'd mark a line, cut it close to the line with a bandsaw, and then use a router table and straight edge to trim it flat and straight. (all done after the miter cuts)

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

That would work. Lots of ways to skin a cat. :)

This is alot better honestly if u don't like the wood design u can just paint it to whatever color u like and put a sticker if u want. But to me a black paint is already good enough for me and not a waste of money.

Pro Tip: mount the camera on the assembly table when drilling pocket holes so your audience gets a visual representation of Playstation DualShock (this is in another woodworker's video, not my own) 😁

[@novazeros]

Been watching your vids for awhile now. Love the woodwork, and your dry sense of humor. And though I understand the patreon plugs/etc, when they fall mid-video it interrupts the whole vibe that makes your vids unique. I don't read your vids as how-tos, but visually interesting inspirational videos forwoodwork and related philosophies. Keep up the good work, but think about why you make you tube content. If the answer is the same as when you made your first video then carry on. But if you're unsure, then go back to the start. I'll be watching regardless.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Hey Maffew. Thanks. I get what you're saying. I try to keep them short and fairly natural...from my experimentation, and reading that I've done, the ads just work so much better in the middle. I'm thinking of ways where I can make them more entertaining. Just gotta get creative with it somehow.
