Title: Headphone stand
Post by: Spanky on Monday, July 04, 2011, 14:27:03 PM
I had an idea the other day to build a stand for my headphones since I got tired of laying them down and having them constantly get in the way. I thought and thought and remembered that I have misc random bits of PVC down in the barn so I went down and pieced something together. This is what I came up with:

Not bad for scrap materials laying around. I kinda wish it was a little taller but I might change that in the future. When I get to Walmart again, I'll pick up a rattle can of flat black to finish it off.

You should spray paint it all black and make it look all classy and shit

NO! Get the armor-lining  stuff. Its like a plastic coat, I used to once, to black out logos on a friends car, and I'm planning on doing this on the wood grain inside of my bmw, it looks 100% better than paint on plastic. Plus it has texture!

Why would you paint textured plastic over wood grain?

Blue, Yes that stuff.

Nate, the cheap plastic wood is fucking gay imo. I don't like it at all, so I'm going to do this.

Its actually called, plastic dip, its not that much, and looks good imo.

check it.

You mean on the "Lexus" decal?

I'm a little surprised that BMW would put plastic wood in a car to be honest...
