Once I've finish the assembly intend to write a blow by blow account, Another thought occured, since I've seen people talk about focal extender/reducers for imaging this design might be a good way of varying the focal length without resorting to the purchase of "extra bits".
netwolf, very little is required in the way of tools or skills. If you can cut a straight line with a hacksaw, you'll do it easily.
Tools used so far are :
Philips screwdriver, Hacksaw, piece of A4 paper to wrap around tube to give straight line for cutting, half round file to remove ridge inside fitting, some rough and smooth sandpaper or a triangular scraper to open out the inside diameter of the 100x90 reducer, a drill for the self tapper holes in the tube, and of course a tape measure for the tube lengths. As the saying goes, it ain't rocket science LOL
