Good Luck Phil,You beat me to it. I am planning on building them soon but I'm still in the process of making absorbing panels and RPG diffusors clones at the same time.
Phil you can also use a similiar process as the base for the top bracket but with thinner material. You can bring the edges much closer to the holes for the pipes let's say at least .5" to .25" Aluminum will give it an industrial look and depending on thickness and how you handle it, it shouldn't bend, also with ABS and Acrylic. To be on the safe side though stick with .5" from the edge to the hole, I've heard my fair share of cracks and breaks. If you don't want to DIY the top, most of the Plastics businesses have machine shops inside. You pick the material(clear or smoke color acylic for example), show them the top view of the bracket with the dimensions for the holes and spacing, they should easily crank out 5 for you and polish the edges to boot. Also bring a piece of PVC pipe with you and they can get the fit pretty snug. It shouldn't cost that much at all depending on their in house shop. Being at the shop you can also ask them for advice of how to bond the plastics together as they have alot of bonding goodies there.
Much Thanks to Jon Risch, Thorsten and many others who contributed to the DIY RoomLens and most of all to Argent.
