CraftyDan - $2.19 ruler from Frys. Nice. What do you do to it?

Actually it was 3x $1.50 rulers at Northern Tool, but they were on sale at the time -- Might get away with two, though.
I HATE the plastic brackets ever since one broke on me at the wrong time. I've been thinking "It can't be that hard to make something more durable."
The breakthrough was noticing that a #4 machine screw fit perfectly into the hardpoints. Once I saw that, the design came easy. Bend a metal strip at the right lengths, drill holes in the right places, and glue a nut to the outside. Screw in the screws and Viola! A bracket that will hold a Sony AND you don't have to bend anything to get it out -- just unscrew it!
The construction isn't without pitfalls, but none of them major. It still came together nicely. The cover part is still taking time for me to clean up, but I'll post more detailed instructions when I'm done.
