Poor Man's Half-Pier
I've finally finished my Poor Man's Half-Pier. It's constructed solely from laminated layers of 9mm plywood and epoxy. A length of 10mm threaded rod from a store in King George's Avenue goes through the center of the plywood box, compressing the box between the EQ head and tripod hub.
