Looking good, Matt!

I've been thinking about building my own mount again lately. I think I'm going to have a crack at making a friction drive mount. Originally I was thinking of some ways that I could design the axes which required more machining done, but then I remembered this thread... I think the pillow block approach will be perfect!

Now I just have top stop spending all my money on filters and focusers so that I can start putting it towards a DIY mount.

Was there any particular reason why you went with the bushings that you did, and why they they were so expensive? Was it just because of the shaft size?
