Bearings
It's been a long haul but it is starting to come together now.
The bearings are the last thing to make before I can put the telescope together.
1...First thing was to make a template of the bearing for routing purposes.
2...I needed a thickness of at least 35mm so I used two 15mm and 6mm ply
which were laminated and pressed together.
3...After the three pieces of ply were laminated. I routed the radius of the bearings and used the template to mark out the sections which were to be roughly cut out.
4...The template was then secured to the work piece and routing commenced.
5...The bearings after routing. I used a radius bit on the router to finish them off.
6...Sanded and the stain going on.
