Alt bearing brace
Thanks Rod and others who have offered suggestions. As a first build I am opting for more traditional dimensions and design. The "Flex rocker" does look interesting, doing away with the mirror box entirely (very minimalist).
Today I trimmed the tip of the Alt Bearings and gave them a simple brace with a dowel join at each end. Along with the Lateral support blocks on the rocker it has a far more secure feel moving from Azimuth to Horizon.
Kunama (Matt) also suggested the use of felt pads as gliders to stop excess movement. Sounds like a great idea.
Secondary rings time next!
