i gave my new ED80 a new home today
hey, i had today off again, so i dropped by bunnings and grabbed this galv tool box for a cool $36.95
then i stopped by a clark rubber and picked up the foam inners, there are four layers in this badboy. two which you can see in the lid and for my cutouts the lid layer is 50mm thick, and the cut out layer is 100mm thick. underneath the cutout layer are 2 x 50mm sheets, just in case i decide to get a bit more creative with it all. i'm actually tempted tosplit it down the middle, one side with the scope, then make a shelf type system for the other, that way, i'm not wasting all the space underneath the finder scope and eyepieces and whatnot.
turned out fairly well i think. all that's left is to get some fabric and fold over the whole foam mess....make it look pretty!
