Yep, the little dob was just put together from what I had in the scrap bin. The only things I purchased were the PVC end caps from Reece Plumbing and the cloth from Lincraft. I had the lazy susan bearing in the shed and plenty of scrap timber and paint. It will be great to see Terry's scope progress.
Hey Terry, I have just had a thought, why don't you refurbish the tube first followed by fabricating a dob base, then the GEM. If you use a clamping tube cradle for the dob mount you would be able to swap the OTA between the 2 mounts. This might get you up and running a little quicker if you wanted.
Cheers,
