The Bucket-Seat Binocular Mount: Make an attractive yet robust observing tool.

This article from Sky & Telescope discusses the creation of a bucket-seat binocular mount by Lauren Wingert. Lauren inherited a pair of 25x100 binoculars but found it difficult to hold them steady by hand due to their weight. She wanted to build a stable and low-cost mount for the binoculars and decided to use an adjustable gaming chair and a computer monitor mount. Lauren faced several engineering challenges in making the chair swivel and ensuring stability, but she was able to overcome them through trial and error. The final result was a comfortable and effective observing chair. [Extracted from the article]
