home made stuff--pictures

[les666paul]

i think it would be cool if everyone posted pics of home-made Shokmounts, pop-filters, or any thing that they made

maybe some of us could get ideas of how to make things that can cost $50 for like 2 dollars

Last week I had to make an emergency pop filter out of a wire coat hanger and a pair of tights that the singer's girlfriend had to bring us. She was extremely embarrased, but it worked well

The good ol' wire coathanger and a (preferably dirty) sock.

What about duck taping the mid of your mic lead to the roof so you have a drum overhead.

Yep, been there done that, $20 mic to.

The broom/mop mic stand is always a classic.

Or if all else fails get someone to hold it.

C7sus devised a killer home made shock mount. This was at least a year ago; I'll see if I can find the thread.

I often run out of mic stands and have to resort to the old paint can. I taped a 20"x 2" peice of oak (scrap flooring) to the top of a paint can to mic my 2/12 guitar cab. Do whatcha gotta do.
Maybe I'll post a pic of our single to double kick vdrum conversion. That's funny, I'll be back.

Thanks man
Well, I did that in a maintenence shop I used to work in, I was an industrial electronics tech. I had access to stainless steel piping, and misc metals. I also had to learn how to tig weld, and got pretty good with a bench grinder. I was able to make it in about 8 hours. It was a slow work day. The main ring is made out of a stainless steel pipe cut to about 3/16" or so, then I mounted everything else around it.

what do you think of mine

[guitarfreak12]

oh, sorry, I think it's really creative. I just used materials that were perfect for the job, you had to look around the house. Which is harder. I really like it, it seems perfect for a pencil ccondensor. Nice work

[les666paul]

cool thanks
