Haig Mount

I got sick of whinging about having no tracking, so after consulting many designs, I knocked up a Haig Mount this morning.
Took about 3 hours, 1 hr of which was applying layer after layer of shellac before assembling.
I thought I'd stuffed up the camera mount when I used the 16mm spade bit instead of something smaller, but I gasketed it with bits of hose and it's all good.
A couple more things to do to it. Gotta make a timer wheel, make a handle to turn the screw with, mount a finder scope along the hinge and finish off the whole job with an inlay of gold paint on the top. ( Esthetics are everything)
The proof of the pudding will of course be in the images.
