I recall somebody posting pictures of a design that sounds like the below here
(or maybe on RTL?--but I'm pretty sure it was here) not tooooo long ago. I

that's been on clearance at KB outlets, Big Lots, etc. It was a very elegant
design, and worked very well from what he said. Maybe I'll search to see if I
can find it--it looked to me to solve the problem most elegantly.
