Just had to make a comment Dave - from someone who loves tinkering and inventing/adapting: your achievemnets (to use a modern expression) just blow me away!

And to think people in their ignorance get worked up over Obsessions and SDM's etc - not to be too derogatory towards suchlike - but your constructions just make that sort of stuff second-rate!

Particularly impressed by the finishes as well as the machining/fabrication and other intricacies: formed ply tubing et al (please don't tell us it's only Bunnings cheapo stick-on faux wood grain and enhanced photos!)

Honestly brother, works of art (and I'm a pro artist) - is that a telephoto camera lens mechanism adapted for the focusser?

Highest quality Dave, regards, Darryl.
