The idea we're using is simple and inexpensive and all the materials needed are at any home center or hardware store, heck you might even have some of the stuff laying around at your house already. Like I said, once it gets finalized I'm sure they'll tell you how it works and even include some photos and maybe even a video.
Have you ever thought of using the kind of clamp that they used to Mythbusters (that one episode with the bottle rocket man thing) ? Dunno, if you needed ideas you could implement that one
