Hi Paddy

One of my scopes came in a double walled cardboard box and an internal, shaped polystyrene insert. I took out the shaped polystyrene insert and built a wooden box around it.

I built a wooden frame out of 42mm x 19mm pine and then screwed 6mm plywood sheets to the outside. Allow space for any accessories, or tube mounting rings, dovetail plates, finder scopes, etc.

Don't forget: "measure twice, cut once" to avoid any cutting mistakes.

Cheers

Dennis
