Jim, I own a decent digital camera, and would be happy to oblige. I just wish I had thought of it at the last SLAS meeting. If any of those who brought homemade mounts don't have a decent camera (I also own a good scanner if you have prints) wouldn't mind too much bringing them back to the next SLAS meeting I can bring my camera along. -Rich --- Jim Stitley <sitf2000@yahoo.com> wrote:
IT would be GREAT to put up on the Bino webpage, photos of various types of bino holders like we saw at last meeting - distant pic and perhaps a close up shot or two - could help select and guide building our own. Giving credit to the roiginal builder. I think all the members would like to see photos. Can add on additional pics as other creative ones show up, or if someone starts breeding them. Jim

This sounds like a great idea; it would be wonderful to have a few of the experts like Ron and Chuck and others on hand to take a critical look at some of the sets that show up. I would like to expand the bino resource page I started into an ongoing, online collection of bino and mount reviews that newcomers and any interested parties can read and consequently make good purchasing decisions by.
Likewise I'd also like to put together a list of some success stories and step-by-step plans of some of you creative and talented craftsmen in making good parallelogram and observing chair mounts (following up Glen Warchol's inspiration with the crutch mount, etc.), replete with pictures and detailed parts lists if possible for the rest of us tool (and pocketbook)challenged, starry-eyed hopefuls.

Hey Joe:
I'd like to have a look at those Oberwerk binos and toss a couple of rounds in a 'shoot out'.
Great! We'll do it soon. You're making the coffee.
What the heck good is fun money if we don't have fun with it?!
Not a problem, really, I'm just going to skip my medication for a couple months! :>O
