Hi Guys
Thank you @happy jack for posting photos!, they look great, it was good to meet you both, i enjoyed your visit!
I was thankful when we moved your original enquiry from a custom production mic stand to a completely custom themed mic stand, themed to the band name "the junkyard dogs", - custom mic stands are great, but themed mic stands are the way forward!!!!
The mic stand was designed to look like a rusted battered old drive shaft, i could not use a real drive shaft and gear, because it would weight a tonne, so i opted for a light weight aluminum main shaft fitted to our own pressed mic stand base, with blocks of square solid steel welded around the circumference to give the cog / gear effect.
Alittle air brushing and rotational arrows to give identity to the shaft , alittle skuffing, sanding and a gloss coat, i am very happy with the out come.
