oh yeah absolutely, great info there... I read that a few weeks ago and even compiled a few more resources on DIY bino mounts; i'm seriously thinking of building one with my dad, and thankfully he's a bit of a woodworking fanatic (while I failed shop at school

)
Was wondering about the viability of alternative commercial products though, as with the DIY stuff above there is also the cost of time and materials, so I'm wondering which would be more economical in the end.
