I too would like to see how you mount the home-mades. As I've said before, the most practical grocery panniers I've used were two pairs I made from $4-on-sale kitchen trash cans from Target. It's just that I felt so self conscious riding around with *trashcans* hooked to my bike. I've still got a pair if anyone cares to come by and pick them up, (My next door neighbor has the other permanently attached to the cheap Schwinn World Traveller grocery bike I sold him for $50, and uses them regularly.)
(My trashcanpanniers were held together as a pair in the manner of "Dutch" panniers with nylon webbing and to mount you just slung them over the rack and used a toe strap to hold them in place fore-and-aft.)
