Tripod Mount for Digital Projector

 Part three of my series on abusing camera tripods is a simple mount for my digital projector. This instructable requires welding, and, potentially a lathe if you make the same mistakes I did. It's probably a good idea to use a heavy duty tripod for this project because this is adding about ten pounds to the top of your tripod.

Step 1 Safety

 I use an angle grinder pretty often because I haven't gotten around to getting a bandsaw yet and I'd rather not use a hacksaw. The problem is that cut off discs get worn out quickly and can get dangerous fast. If your discs even start to look like the one shown here, DO NOT USE! It's not worth the grief if one of these explode on you. 

Please be safe with power tools people.

Very nice!  Well writen and illustrated.  I wish you'd have had some more photos showing the intermediate states, but unless you really plan your I'ble in advance, it's hard to know when you're going to want pictures.  Highly rated and Featured.
