3) We need to create 4 holes at the 4 corners so that the bumpers can be attached .

4) Now attach the 4 bumpers with the help of screw and nuts.

That's it the base of out tripod is ready.Please refer the figure and my complete video for better understanding.

Step 3: Create a Slot in the Steel Pipe.

1)Now we have to create a slot in the steel pipe at one end so as to enter the hinge in the slot as shown in the figure. The slot can be created using an axoblade.

2) Now we have to create a through hole in the steel pipe perpendicular to the slot created.

Step 4: Creating a Holder for the Phone.

1)For creating a holder i have cut a piece of metal sheet from an old tube light holder.

2) Also i have removed a paper holder from and old writing pad.

3) Now we have to drill 4 holes in the metal sheet .
