Graham,

The original John Dobson style mount the scope was in had teflon on PVC
bearings. I still have the teflon but they are only 1cm x 2cm x 4mm pieces.
Teflon seems to be rear as hens teeth up here.

I'm cutting the veneer for the focuser board today, I think I have just enough
veneer left over from the first one. Along with the formica for the side bearings.
I think the easiest way to cut it will be attaching it to a piece of 3mm ply and
running it through the bench saw. I tried yesterday but the formica is too thin
to run through by it self.

regards,CS
