saber saw, a pop rivet gun and a set of vernier screws from Edmund

What's a "vernier" screw? Sounds like what I could have used. I tried to
build a... um? A focusing rail? A flummy to mount on my tripod to let me
slide my whole camera forward and back in teeensy increments, in order to
focus one of those macro/zoom combo thingies more easily. I built it out
of aluminum bits, pop rivets, and a couple of carriage bolts. It never did
work to my satisfaction, and I've since recycled all the bits. I could
still use one though.
