if i was to make the stand itself, the workings would cost what?
i can make a stand out of rhs quite easily and then i would only need to purchase the actual base...that is probably the one bit i would buy as i dont have access to a lathe and mill to make it and the one guy that would have made it for me died last year...
also the price isnt a big issue for me, i have enough to play with...
