  1. Ah, didn't realise you already had a tripod! Sometimes it is very hard to beat a good bit of basic engineering and this is a great example. As Dave says, excellent reuse of materials. Btw, do you find the OTA is stable on the plank? If not, a strip of wood down either side should keep it lined up.
  2. The design itself is not too bad from a vibration point of view - it is essentially the same layout as the Tal mounts which are excellent. That said, 2" may be a little light and I think glowjet is right - you would be better off making a tripod. However, if you take yourself off down to a decent plumber's merchant and use a length of cast iron sewer pipe (110mm iirc), you could be on to a winner. Neither design is going to fall into the "lightweight" category, however!
