Danger, Will Robinson! Homemade boom bases are NEVER appealing. It's likely cheaper and definitely safer, to buy them from one's local dealer than make them oneself (unless one happens to own a foundry). In the short term, it will always be cheaper to rent bases rather than manufacture them to a safe standard. Since you may not have C-clamps anyway, Single-Tee sidearms rent for $2/week; Double-Tee, $3. Might be a long drive to Vanco, BASH, FourStar, or ProdArts, but you'll save the production money. Ask if they have any Roscolene they will give you for free.
