Project 24

Hi All,
It has begun. Blame my insanity, blame the clouds or maybe too much time on my hands, but I have started a project to build an upto 24" Newtonian astrocam on a GEM.

Part 1) Manufacture drives.

Here are images of the R.A. drive wheel blank. Dec should be finished by the weekend.

Still practicing hobbing teeth.

Anyway back to it.
