DIY P-Mount "fiddly bits"

Hi. I'm pretty new at this. I am seriously thinking about making a parallelogram mount for my AOE 20x80T binoculars which are currently on order. I have done an obsessive amount of research over the net and am leaning toward using 20mm aluminium square sections for the main arms etc.

What I would like some help with is sourcing some of the other compontents that I might need. For example:

- the bit that connects the main post with the tripod, and allows the main post to rotate;
- an L-bracket to hold the binoculars;
- etc.

As you can see, I don't really know what I'm talking about. In addition, I don't have any metal working skills and I have very limited tools at my disposal.

Does anyone know of a reputable supplier of DIY tripod/mount "fiddly bits" in Australia?

Any advice would be very welcome.
