Thanks John, I too think the 10" is a good sized scope, and the biggest I'd get in a solid tube. A 12" collapsable is temping though.....

Thanks Alex, its funny, I also find that brace very nice to look at
You think YOU can't wait for it to be finished!!! I'm dying to complete it. I've been on holidays this week, but back to work on Monday so progress will slow sadly. But I'm hoping to have it assembled by then and the finishing started at least.

Thanks Stu, yes I'm hoping this base will last many years - the marine ply is beautiful stuff, its a 9 ply and machines nicely. I've got an Argo Navis sitting on my desk and can't wait to fit it. Gary has been amazing helping me plan my base and the argo install. He even custom made me a pivot bolt to my dimensions!

I'm really hoping this will be a smooth and pleasurable base/mount to use, it will end up being worth more than the scope!

Dave
