kevin gilmore Posted May 30, 2009 Report Posted May 30, 2009 For what is to become the ultimate headphone stand... http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/headstand1.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/headstand2.jpg I'm looking for more of the 2 piece tube clamps pictured. 1.5 inch diameter. These have to be a stock item somewhere, i just can't find out where. Quote
luvdunhill Posted May 30, 2009 Report Posted May 30, 2009 nice base plate. I'm not sure where to find something like that though. Quote
dBel84 Posted May 30, 2009 Report Posted May 30, 2009 You need them to be the same as you have - I have a couple of generic aluminium ones lying in a box that I can send you. (need to find them but I know I do have them) They are standard biochem lab issue - could track down catalogue and numbers if you need more ..dB Quote
dBel84 Posted May 30, 2009 Report Posted May 30, 2009 now those are MANLY the ones I have FUGLY ..dB Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted May 30, 2009 Report Posted May 30, 2009 Good call. See also microphone mounts. To wit: ...but I suspect that you want a "universal" something, as microphones and drum hardware tend to be standard sizes, so they only need the clamp on one of the two directions, the other can be "hard-coded". EDIT: Yeah, try this to get you started. Quote
kevin gilmore Posted May 30, 2009 Author Report Posted May 30, 2009 They are standard biochem lab issue - could track down catalogue and numbers if you need more ..dB I know they are a standard issue thing, but hours of searching have found nothing. If you have a catalog name/part number that would be great. 1.5 inch ID. I did find the drumset clamps. If i can't find what i want, those are definitely the next in line. Quote
dBel84 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 Just had a quick peek and I see your dilemma - the max diameter is 22mm from the suppliers that I am familiar with. I did find these on amazon - not as pretty but they open to the right size and are significantly less expensive than the lab suppliers. I will have a look on Monday to see if some of the more obscure suppliers have anything that can handle such large diameters ..dB Quote
dBel84 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 hmm not sure what happened to that link - I didn't find them on the fischer site but amazon links them as the seller ..dB Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 Yeah, all amazon links do that -- don't worry, it's still legible. Quote
deepak Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 KG you need to assign a TA to make finding this part number his/her afternoon/day/week project Quote
kevin gilmore Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Posted May 31, 2009 KG you need to assign a TA to make finding this part number his/her afternoon/day/week project You have no idea what qualifies as a TA these days. I'm not looking for cheap. I'm looking for something pretty. Quote
guzziguy Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 You have no idea what qualifies as a TA these days. I'm not looking for cheap. I'm looking for something pretty. In that case, maybe you should talk to Steve about making something custom for you in wood. Quote
digger945 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 1 and 2 piece, no adjustable thumb lever but different materials. Bigger heavy, but black oxide coating. These could be used and replace one bolt with a thumb lever. They are "stackable". The stafford parts came from this page, neat stuff on the right column including anodized looking aluminum stuffs. Yet another Stafford link. Found Googling: 2 piece clamping collar. Googling: Thumb Lever and maybe adding "adjustable" gets mixed results. No quotes used on any searches. Your not an easy feller to shop for:confused:, but I really like your taste;D Quote
digger945 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Posted May 31, 2009 Another name used for the thumb lever is button head. I read the MSC catalog sometimes at work. Quote

dBel84 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 You would probably like some of the clamps I stumbled on and discounted for their price tag. The THORlabs optical brackets were particularly cool. These are the other type of plate mountings 1 2 3 ..dB Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 I do. And now I have to think of a completely pointless use for them. Quote
Smeggy Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 I do. And now I have to think of a completely pointless use for them. x2, those are hot and would look really awesome on...... something I haven't decided yet Quote
feckn_eejit Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 LaserJet 4V? Now, that's a fucking printer! edit: given KG owns it, it's probably a 4MV... Quote
kevin gilmore Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Posted June 1, 2009 Its a 4mv with 64 meg of ram and internal 20 meg hard drive for fonts. As such it is way fast. I got it cheap directly from the HP salesman 13 years ago. I would actually like something smaller and get back some of the desk. Quote
feckn_eejit Posted June 2, 2009 Report Posted June 2, 2009 They are certainly big monsters. Great workhorse for 11x17. Quote
