Yes----it really isn't that difficult. Acrylic tubing sized to your choice, acrylic sheet, a saw that can saw acrylic plastic withoug fracturing it, some acrylic cement, a few appropriate plumbing fittings, and some epoxy. If you want to go more exotic and be more like the professional models, you could use putty to mold the ring around the base and cast the ring onto the cylinder with acrylic casting resin.

Between these two places, you can get any supply you need to make it however you wish. Have fun.

Edit--I just noticed that you are in Oz--my bad. However, there have to be similar plastics suppliers and industrial supply houses in Sydney. Google is your friend.:biggrin1:
