I used a large block of wood and four large nails. It doesn't have to look pretty.
I pretty much ruined a cheap laser collimator in my attempts to collimate it.
Like just about every <$100 model it consists of a 1.25" barrel with a $2 keychain type laser pointer inside. The aiming is adjusted with 3 grub screws. I spent a good hour or more trying to get it spot it and failed. In the process of making minute tweaks I have compressed the barrel of the internal pointer to the point where the batteries wont come out without some hard whacking, and that throws the collimation out again
