Not sure if anyone has seen this, saw it and thought it might be useful. I think I'm going to try and make one for fun at some point soon.

I was just about to post this. Just saw it when I got to work.

Looks like a good deal to me!

...but tho: really does all that glass and wood cost less than those 5-10 buck digital scopes from Radio Shack and/or Ebay/Amazon? ....you save what, 2-3 bucks? ...

edited to add: it is a cool idea regardless
