Hi - I've not been watching email but have had my phone on (869-3735) and
been working on it for the last couple hours
Here is where we stand:
- cleaned garage to a workable point
- routed base (two circles, plywood) - have Teflon feet in inventory
- cut uprights, trashed first set, have oak picked out for second set (see
below)
- have 4.5" formica bearings cut for verticle axis (pressure bearing with
locked nuts)
- went to Lowes for HW but forgot my wallet - need to return
To do:
- fix upright (recut, dowel, screw, and glue)
- paint base (have some spare)
- buy and install axis HW
- buy HW for scope to upright mount (to lock scope mounts in)
- verify the vertical pressure bearing works....
Now here is the rub - I'm heading to the Chinese lantern festival at 6:15,
so I'm scrubbing tonight too. I'll send pictures tomorrow AM. If anyone
has time to help this weekend, or special skills/knowledge on the
horizontal axis mount, please call.

John
what is your new address? We are still planning to meet at your place at
6:30pm tonight to start building
that telescope right? Or should I say John are you in town so we can meet
at your place to start building the scope :-)
It was good to see you at the last general meeting.
