Does anyone know where to find plans to build an alt-az mount? I've seen one plan in Sky and Telescope for a simple "cradle" mount made of wood, however, I was thinking of something along the lines of the Gibraltor that I could build using parts from a hardware store.

I have several small scopes including an Orion 80mm short tube which I have mounted on a camera tripod. I was looking for something portable but sturdier for that scope. Also, at some point I'd like to try my hand mounting DSC on a alt-az mount. I've seen the plans for the one that Michael is referring to, but was hoping to find plans for something a little smaller and made of metal versus wood.
