Here's some photos of my progress on the mount. I'm not doing altitude rings partly because I'm keeping it compact and also I don't want to use too much wood because dew might make it warp. So I'm going with two A-frames instead.
#1 One of two A-frames using 20X20X3mm Aluminium angle.
#2 I had to cut a recess into the bottom part because otherwise it hits the bearing between the ground boards and the corners of the lower ground board. I used the drop-saw (for the straight bits) and the jigsaw (for the curves).
Progress is coming along nicely just a lot of drilling left on the mount and a few small things like edge supports on the OTA.
