David's plans are great, but all the local hardware stores for me don't carry 10mm basswood booms...
So I took his plans, converted them to inches and scaled them up to use 1/2" - here's the measurement changes:
(The conversion factor ends up at 1.27, or 1/2 inch per 1 cm)
I also scaled the template itself so that I could print it and paste it directly to my G10 boards. One plate is just slightly longer than a 6"x6" G10 board from McMaster-Carr (cat# 85345K712), so a pair of boards can cost you less than $7 + shipping.
I'll release the PDF I made for printing once I get permission from David, but here's a photo of my progress so far: (*edit: got permission. Here's the PDF file for printing*)

- 3mm drill holes change to 7/64" drill bit, to use #4-40 screws
- 10mm = 0.5" (distance between holes for rear boom, stick size, etc)
- 20mm = 1" (Axel-hole distance for front arms)
- 50cm Boom length = 25"
- The "dampened gopro mount" stick will measure 9.5" x 2"
