go down to the hardware store & buy a length of 1-1/2inch round
wood like in a closet for clothshangers. Also pick up a metal
gizmo that has woodscrew threads on one end and a 3/8ths inch
machine thread on the other. Pilot hole and run it into one end
of the length of wood - screw tripod head on. Mark off the ideal
overall height and saw it off. A couple hoseclamps around the
top will add strength where the gizmo is threaded into the wood.
