Dob Transport Case
This is a re-post of a thread lost in the recent IIS outage.
I have put together a Dob transport case to enable safe transport of the scope tube assembly to remote sites. It's constructed of 6mm marine AA grade ply, glued and screwed to tassie oak frame/stringers, s/s fittings, hatch seal, and includes original shipping inserts to keep the tube from moving around. It's water tight. I also have a made a small end dolly that straps to the mirror end of the case and enables it to be turned into an enclosed hand truck for moving around easily. All up cost was around $150 for all materials.
Pics attached.
