homemade weight system for an lx90

Am making a homemade weight system for an lx90. Pictures are attached of progress so far. Total cost to date is less than $8.00. Two pieces of scrap aluminium angle ($2.00) from local scrap yard cut with a hacksaw , filed , beaten into shape with a hammer against a 150mm pine post , drilled and finished with emery paper( crude but it works). Length of 5/16 steel stud , two domed nuts and two normal nuts ($5.60). Intend to attach weights to a threaded arm moving along threaded stud to give 3-D balance system.
