Well, I finished the rebuilding of the tripod due to my mishap. I decided to try the tri-lock design that the Reis Tripods have. Mind you now I'll try just about anything and being the cheap bastard that I am I had to see if I could build it. Thanks to all who sent me pictures of their tripods so I could give it a try.
Yes I know I built the parts out of Walnut and it won't be a solid as metal but it does work very well and seems sturdier than before. It locks tight and weights about the same as before.
