I was wondering if anyone reading this thread would share information
on any devices that are perhaps homemade or are low cost alternatives
to items available in aviation catalogs.

My biggest home-made project has been to build a console to fit between the seats on my 182. It worked
out really well, and at virtually no cost. I just used some scrap 1/4" or 3/8" particle board and just glued it
all together. Not real fancy to look at but very functional. It has a space on the bottom for my oxygen
cylinder, plus pencil holder, drink holder, and space for charts and approach plate books.
