Thanks for the link, some interesting stuff on there. I do like to mend and make do, I also like making stuff out off everyday things.I can remember when I first joined Talk Photography I cam across the following website:
43 Photography Hacks, Mods And DIY Projects
That's quite impressive.Used to but now I'm retired don't have access to the machinery. I've made a gimbal head and a hide shelf clamp, tripod feet and a few other bits and pieces over the years.
That's quite impressive.
Ain't a Wimberley but it worked well

That's a lovely finish you've got on that, is it powder coated?
WHich type / brand ? I'd love to get that kind of finish on the next few brackets I'm running off!No it's a plasticised paint.
Can you do something about the wallpaper too please. That and the wine make me rather dizzy.This is my home made "Better Beamer"

BTW. What is the flash going to do with such a loooong lens?
I don't have the can any more but it came from Halfords
It looks like Plastidip to me which gives a hard wearing rubberised texture. I built a custom turntable for a friend and used it to give a durable finish;

That looks nice!
I built one many years ago - used a weighted Goldring platter, Mitchell bearing and motor with a slate plinth that a mate cut for me. Mounted on MicroSorber feet with an SME III arm - sounded very nice!
