Yep, he said he still uses and prefers his focusers made from 1.5" chromed brass drain pipe and a cardboard tube to slide in and out!
He also made a 10" scope and mount from scratch in 7 hours!!!!!! Ground, polished and silvered both mirrors, made the cell, spider, focuser and mount, assembled it all, and used it. It was at a workshop to teach others how to make telescopes. I wonder how many of the attendees did the same?
