I needed a video camera mount for bicycles so i could video other bicycling type activities and give the whole production a "swooshy cycling feeling". This turned out to work pretty well with what I had, many of the parts will be substitutable by other materials.

Need a cheap stereo for your ipod? This one is a quick project.quick bolt shortening tutorial
easy way to shorten a screw or a bolt without having to re-die the threads…
i never have the right length screws or bolts and am always needing to shorten them. here is a
trick. place the length to be cut off in the vise so you don’t mangle the threads of the piece you
want. Make sure you have placed a wingnut or nut of some description on the end you wish to
keep. Later you wind this off to clean up the threads so you don’t need to re-die the screwthread.
