Ah, I was referring to the devices that go under each leg for leveling <g>.
Actually one could make something fairly cheaply with just two pieces of
wood, a door hing, and a nut, bolt and washer.  But then you would have
to worry about flexure, the hinge shifting slightly with time, etc.

You could make a very good unit yourself for the cost of parts for around 
$100, less if you have a bandsaw that will cut 1/2" aluminum.  But if
you are going to sell it by the time you add in labour, anodizing, profit,
etc. you are looking at closer to $250 IMO.
