Tom--

Nice parallelogram. I like the degree circle at the base--an extra touch!




Thanks Bob! The neat thing is, it only took one afternoon to build.

I did forget to mention that the digital level doubles as the counterweight for the binos. If someone wasn't using a Push-To system, the same barbell weights could be mounted on the vertical post as counterweights.
