Cost in pine: about US $101 to $163 new, US $50 to $81 with the glue, finish, sandpaper, brushes, tape, both bits and a flush-cut saw on hand (line by line on page 4). A gift for the gamer in the house: built to fit their own controllers and headphones (measure them first, step 1), with honest tipping numbers.
An original Square & Furrow plan: designed for today's homes, every step drawn, cut list for standard lumber, imperial and metric.
At a glance
- Size: PAIR 15 1/2" (394 mm) or QUAD 29 1/2" (749 mm) long, 11 1/4" (286 mm) deep, 10 3/8" (264 mm) high; 1 lb (0.5 kg) a bay
- Skill: Beginner
- Build time: A weekend, then 7 days for the finish to cure
- Materials: approx. US$101–163
- In the plan: 13-page PDF, US Letter, 12 illustrated steps, imperial, with metric in the lists and steps
Inside the 13-page plan
- An exploded drawing that shows how every part goes together
- Dimensioned views of the finished build, in feet and inches
- Materials list and hardware schedule, with standard lumber sizes and metric equivalents
- Cut list for standard lumber, so you can cut everything before you start assembling
- Clear illustrated step-by-step assembly drawings: one job per step, every part drawn, fastener positions marked
Safety: Not a step, a seat or a toy. Rated 1 lb (0.5 kg) a bay and a 1 lb (0.5 kg) headset; 10 lb (4.5 kg) at the post (the base held), 13 lb (5.9 kg) at the lip or the slope's top, 10 lb (4.5 kg) pressed down on the slope. QUAD: pine or poplar boards only. It is not fixed down: a 1 1/2 lb (0.7 kg) bump at the saddle does not tip it, a harder one can; keep cables on the desk top, not over its edge. Carry it by the base. Tested in steps 11 and 12.

Built to work
Game Controller & Headphone Stand
Built in home workshops more than a century ago, and redrawn for the way you build today.
RenderingStep by step
Every part drawn. Every fastener marked.
Each step is one job with its own clear drawing: the parts it adds are shaded, every nail and screw position is marked, and the hardware and tools sit right beside it. An exploded view shows how the whole build goes together before you make a single cut.

Materials
Four boards build either size (the wood: SIZES AND RATINGS). Cutting layout: Fig. 2. Buy flat, straight boards. Pilots: 7/64" (2.8 mm) in pine, 1/8" (3 mm) in poplar or oak, on a 6" (152 mm) long bit chucked about 1" (25 mm) deep (a short bit does not reach 2"). The QUAD's slope needs bar clamps that open 32" (813 mm) or more (step 7).

Where does this plan come from?
It is an original Square & Furrow design for today's homes, produced with AI-assisted tools and checked by our build model. You get a materials list, metric sizes, a cut list for standard lumber and clear illustrated step-by-step assembly drawings, every part drawn. Sizes are in feet and inches, with metric alongside.
Can a beginner follow it?
Yes. Each step is a single job with its own drawing: the parts that step adds are shaded, the nails, screws and bolts it drives are marked where they go, and the hardware for that step is listed beside it. An exploded drawing at the front shows how the whole build goes together before you cut anything.
What do I get?
A 13-page print-ready PDF (US Letter) to download after purchase. It prints well at home or at a copy shop, and reads fine on a tablet in the workshop.
