DIY Multi-use Laser Stand

DIY Multi-use Laser Stand
This laser stand can be used for almost anything, a recipe holder, artistic art holder, picture holder, and several other things, but most importantly a laser, thanks to its flexible legs, it could be mounted on a telescope, binoculars or almost anything. It could help hold your laser still while trying to set up mirrors for a tunnel scanner or even just hold it still to gaze lovingly at your laser.

Lasers are always cool, no matter what they are sitting ON, IN, or AROUND. Tripod is flexible in all aspects, looks like it could be good for this crazy experiments we laser people carry out.

Not sure about the wonky wire tripod for any real use, but the no-mar binder clip is NICE... Some projects, i used to use wood clothes pins for, but they are never strong enough, and don't open far enough ... these babies will fit the bill nicely!
