Wall Mounted Skull Headphone Stand

I recently re arranged my home rehearsal room and one feature that I had (wall mount for my tablet using a tom bracket) became obsolete. I have another bracket installed that holds a lcd, so i figured i would re-purpose it. Since I need a couple of headphone stands, and been so close to halloween... i could no resist to do a Skull Headphone Stand/Wall mount.

I bought a cheap Halloween prop skull at Lider (our version of wal****t) and added a "spider nut" using some hot glue, then using an old cymbal stand part (like a simple memory lock) attached it to a goose neck and then to the wall mounted clamp.

So... Here we go.

Tools and Materials

For the materials you need

  • A Prop, big enuff to hold your headphones. (in this case, plastic skull)
  • Means to hold the prop (in this case, tom bracket for the wall mount, microphone gooseneck for the arm and metal clamp to attach to the prom.)
  • Mounting options on the prop it self ( in this case, T or "spider")

Tools

  • Something to drill

I will depend on your prop, in my case it was soft enuff for me to be able to "drill" using some scissors

  • Something to glue

Hot glue worked for me.

Get the Prop

Choose what you want to use. I went for the classic and cheap halloween skull prop

Drill It

In this case, the plastic was quite soft so i used a blade to "drill" the hole

Attach the Mount

I´m re purposing a previously installed Tom bracket for this. This makes for easy removal.

Enjoy

Now just rest your headphones on it. In this case, I can use the jaw to hold the cable.

Not bad for a 5 minutes build.
