Hello All,
I thought some might be interested in the bracket I made to hold a Stellarvue 1x pointer on the central bar of my Oberwerk 22x100 binocular. This arrangement has made it very much easier to point the binocular in the right direction and seems more stable and 'elegant' than the plastic bracket supplied with the Stellarvue. I don't have a machine shop and kludged the thing out of 2in. aluminum bar stock with a band saw, belt sander and drill press. The key 'ingredient' was a 19/32" drill bit for the center hold I had to order from Enco. Attached is a photo of the bracket attached to the binocular. I will separately post a picture of it off of the Oberwerk.

Good job on that. Much better looking than the Daisy Max sight I put on my 20x90s w/ cable ties.

Nice work! It's fun and rewarding to customize your gear with your won two hands...
"Who knows what's best for you other than you?" and "If you want something done right, do it yourself." are two sayings that distinctly apply here.

Thanks for the feedback. Someone ought to make something like this commercially available. I bet it would sell.
