Watch my video to see how I designed and made this Headphone Stand with my X-Carve, then make one yourself!

The top of the stand is shaped like a music note. It has a hole for the cord and a tenon to glue it to the base. The tenon is designed to fit into a 3/4" square mortise in the base. If using lumber with a different thickness, adjust the size of the mortise in the base.

Estimated time: 26 minutes

Carve the base from 3/4" lumber. It has two partially drilled holes for 1/4" adapter plugs and a mortise to accept the tenon in the top piece.

Estimated time: 22 minutes

Sand the top and the base smooth. Sand off the tabs. Since the round bit leaves rounded corners in the mortise, sand the corners of the tenon for the best fit.

Use wood glue to glue the top and base together. Wipe away excess glue.

Estimated time: 5 minutes

Finish the headphone stand with your choice of finished. I used spray shellac to bring out the nice color of the walnut.

Estimated time: 30 minutes

Cut a piece of self-stick felt and stick it on the top to add a soft landing spot for your headphones.

Estimated time: 5 minutes

Hang your headphones on the stand. Wind up the cord and insert it into the hole to keep it tidy. If you have a 1/4" adapter plug or two, then they now have a home too! Enjoy!
