The 5-minutes Fast Track Pro Stand

[antomas]

Yes, you need only 5 minutes if you already have at hand:

• a suitable block of wood. Perfect (IMHO) size is L 60 x W 125 x H 25mm (but larger/longer blocks and 20 to 30 mm height should be ok).
• two screws, thread diameter 4mm, lenght 25 mm.
• a bench drill

and 4.5 and 12mm bits for wood

...and provided that don't care about finishing your stand.

OPTIONAL PART - You may sand, chamfer, delve in wood hardener your block of wood, but this shall increase the time 5x to 20x, depending on your equipment and skills.

I suggest to do that on the side of the headphone and USB jack, likely the most frequently used.

For some reasons this post got lost (between #11 and #12).
This is the right tool for tightening the screws: just the bit without handle.
