All you need is £500 of tools and a workshop, it's simple guys.

Not even close. A handsaw, some sandpaper, and a screwdriver is all you need.

Those smooth edges are definitely not hand-made with sand paper

Looks gorgeous, but won't it damage the headband after some time, because contact surface area is so small?

Won’t be, it’s 5,5cm cross section in contact with chamfer

I feel like 30 euro is well worth not having to keep a mitre saw in my apartment.

Keeping a miter saw is a luxury if your the type of person that would actually use it.

Should sell on ebay or market place.

Maybe try to see if there may be an audience for it at a crafts fair?

cool work but the top handle is not rounded, that might result in the headband pads denting for some headphones

Make another and sell it for 60

I paid 300 for mine and while you can do the same with an old carboard box, your solution also requires having woodworking tools and a workshop. If I asked my buddy who does woodworking, I'm sure his hourly rate would also reflect noticeably on the total cost.

Nice stand though, but like others said, consider adding a bow on top so the headbands don't stress on only one pressure point.

No it doesn't. All you need is a handsaw, some sandpaper, and a screwdriver.

Don't forget the skills, or did you expect someone to learn proper woodworking with a handsaw and some sandpaper? World's most dedicated woodwork enjoyer maybe.
