The bits come in handy Leon. When I got my first scope, a 60mm refractor, it didn't have a finderscope so I made one. The objective was salvaged from a old stereo camera that I found in the tip, the barrel was a bit of an old stirrup pump tube, the eyepiece was the lens from an 8mm cine projector, and the objective holder and focuser tube were turned down from Onga pump fittings. Still have it, works well even has copper wire cross hairs.
