I have now completed 2 light boxes since the op and no issues. Started the third today. When I say no issues, I mean with the right hand, the left is another story and that is next to be fixed...

Good outcome, certainly a challenge in the winter building them. The glue takes forever to dry, thank heavens for an indoor slow combustion heater to assist.

Received mine not long ago and the craftsmanship is outstanding with an extremely even field illumination. Peter was also very helpful in troubleshooting and replacing the first dimmer switch which was DOA. Thanks Peter, and highly recommended for anyone else out there thinking of getting one of these.

Just collected a new light box from Peter for my new refractor. Beautifully made. Super light and really neat. He's got it down to a fine art now and the dimmer unit is an external plug in. Highly recommended. Thanks Pete.

Getting a couple of people asking me if I am still doing these. Obviously I am or this thread would have disappeared.
I have built around a dozen since my hand operation, so that is all good, the other hand is next on the agenda, probably in January next year.

Looks like I am going to have my left thumb operated on in the next couple of months, so like the previous op, I will be out of operation for building these for around 3 months after the procedure, at present it is penned in for mid January, but might try to put it back to the end of Feb. Don't feel like spending summer with a stinking hot cast wrapped around my wrist and thumb.

Just an update, the operation has been put back until 7 March. So I will be out of service for at least 3 months after that date..

Are you still making the lightboxes for this year? or are they on hold until after your operation and recovery?

Hi Kev, if you could communicate via my email, exfso2@aussiebb.com.au I will give you a quote. Will need to know outside diameter of dewshield and whether you need a dimmer or not.
Cheers
Peter
