If the Dungeon Master offered to send me a free beanie, then I would be willing to create a thread or article which will show everyone how they can make their own astronomy stool for peanuts.

A picture of me sitting on the stool has been attached less a picture of my face.

As a digression, if I am sent a beanie, I will also write a few facts about who actually discovered the principle behind mirror physics. And I don't mean Isaac Newton. I actually am referring to none other than Professor Robert Hooke, a reluctant friend of the eccentric Newton.

Gee mate, in the DIY section there is a wealth of information on how to build observing chairs, telescopes and what have you.

You want a beanie for a cardboard stool!..
