Probably the most useful things I have built for my studio are more mechanical/furniture in nature.

1. Very simple: I built speaker stands for my monitors that put them right at ear level off my desk. I might have pix somewhere. I don't use them anymore since I bought a different desk off of Craigslist - a 'producer' desk which has way more 19" rack space than I will ever need, but a puny depth top shelf - so I've modded that by making the shelf extend further towards the front of the desk and the monitor speakers sit there right on the front edge at ear height.

2. More complex but even more useful was the GOBO I built and anti-flutter treatment for the studio. I do have pix of those.

GOBO front - GOBO is on the right, anti-flutter item on left of image: (click either image for larger view)


Back side is scavenged 3" deep foam wedges in a hodgepodge of pieces glued to the GOBO. Striped sides of both are rugs purchased from IKEA. Anti-flutter device is a framework built from 1"x2" material, with the same rug stapled over it and hung from ceiling by picture hanging wire - about 3-4" out away from the wall.



Those photos are from the previous house. I now use that gobo in concert with a clothes closet that has slider doors on it, expose one side of closet and box myself in a bit with the foam side of the gobo - makes for a very dead 'booth'.

Best piece of studio 'furniture' I ever purchased was a built-in Murphy bed that lets us use that room for dual purposes.
