Welcome to Mazeframe attempts a headphone stand!
Warning before the thread really starts: I did not pay attention to my surroundings and left an old newspaper on the workbench… In order to not enable every stalker to follow me arround, I half-ass blurred some parts of the following images.
The materials:
600x200x18 mm wood, 6mm brass tube, spray paint, 3.5mm steel piece (ask nicely and you get things for free) ,left over ikea felt thingys. Total price: 11.49€
Got a spray can with satin black paint. And the result I got is what you see.
Edit: Or is there something getting lost in translation?
Given the camera settings and light, it does not look as dark as it looks in person. It really is a nice dark matt black.
Will take some more pictures tomorrow (when it is done, hopefully).
Yeah, I guess it must have been a very light appliance of paint then, usually you’d go a bit thicker. But I guess this is just the first layer? Also, no primer?
You can paint with watercolors and it does come in black
and with wiping tactic you can cheat it a bit to look like legit stain
But for this kind of project I guess you want to coat it a bit so it wont literally stain, or…
do rounds with strings and ropes and cordy stuffs like that, it looks nice
Stain would show the wood grain, wich would not match the other wood in my room. So I went with black paint to show the grain a little while blending in.
I’m having difficulties getting these spray like paints to look great, but for example I dont like lines what brushes leave, and not many seem to care even about that
After fixing silly stroke lines I have developed wiping tactics
