Hello!
I was looking for ideas on DIY telescope tripods and I came across this wonderful site. Now, this is what I'm talking about! Great site, serious folks, and great ideas.
I am an amateur astronomer about to head into the deep, dark rabbit hole of astrophotography, and my other passion has become wood work in the last three years. Moving into a new home with a bigger garage and a lot to fix up, my tool collections has grown as I've needed new capabilities as projects evolve. My very first involved wood piece was an adjustable chair for more comfortable viewing through a telescope normally requiring a small ladder. I had the option to buy the thing made for $550 or buy the plans and make it myself. What a joy woodworking is! I got the bug.
Like the projects I take on, my approach is with enormous patience and taking the time to be as precise as possible and make everything a learning opportunity. I love woorkworking! At 47, I'm a late bloomer to it, but here I am now :eusa_danc
So clear skies and happy sawdust making!
