I have been planning to organise my soldering equipment a bit better. Due to limited desk space I needed something to stack the various soldering stations on top of eachother. Now Ersa sells these stands:

After going through the pile again I decided on using some 3.2mm PCBs which already had the right size and looked somewhat stylish as well. I only had to make two pieces of square brass bar with threaded holes in order to put this together:
