'Art'...thanks Col I couldn't do any ordinary bracket on this thing...the mount 'told' me what it wanted... sort of

I was looking at Steampunk images and a photo of a machine gun from WW1 that had been re-worked grabbed my attention, and so steampunk brackets were born. Here is a photo of my first bracket ....no way would that be staying.

Have started the Azimuth at long last. Another cylider block design much like the Tangent Arm block. Alumimium plates 6-12-6mm thick bolted to the pier. Still needs a bit of cutting out to do, not sure if the black marker lines come out in the photo. Another 6-12-6 plate will be bolted to the EQ head base, which has brackets for the screw and knobs. Should get 10º or more each side of centre in movement.
