Well it's been a very busy couple of weeks for me. I started my 24" project after spending so much time on the design side of things I was egar to start doing some hands on work.

Because I needed the secondary holder to star test the optics on another telescope that George had. (by the way for those who don't know, Big George he is known to some of us on the forum and although he can be quite strange at times he has a passion for working with class especially telescope mirrors he is doing the optics) I started work on the secondary holder and as you will see by the pics this whole project will be very time consuming but I love every moment of it!

With the holder finished I moved on to the spider and then the top ring which is stained with a mix of Walnut and Golden Oak and then thinned. I yet have to spray several coats of polyurethane.

Anyway a picture says a thousand words so here they are.
