To be honest mine is essentially the same as above (just not as nice to look at!). I do the 45* thing because I was worried that if 90* sideways it did move quite a bit laterally... if you think that's acceptable and it won't break I'll take your word for it, but it just felt wrong when I did it... (obviously 90* the other way is a no go!!)

Mine is pretty similar in function as well, but no where near as pretty and I'm sure mine would weigh 10X as much.

I'd happily trade mine for frankd3000's.

- I had one of my co-workers make some on a CNC lathe


Thanks Frank3000,
