I'm always keen to hear about DIY projects.
I'm setting myself up to anodise stuff soon too.
I'm a bit cheaper than 120/hr though.
I'd be probably 75/hr but don't ever get me to make a filter wheel.
This one took about a week

Hi Steve
If you know you are not going to get paid for it (other than the satisfaction of "rolling your own" ). You can put any price you like on your work! However if I can get $120 per hr can I sub contract to you at $75 per hr?
I was going to make a filter wheel once but decided that by the time I finished it. I would have needed a more modern CCD camera and would need to start all over again!
I had a go at anodising years ago. It was a bit messy and the caustic soda made a mess of everything else. The laundry was never the same again. However I actually got my test piece of aluminium anodosied (a bit streaky ) it was an old piece of aluminium with a bit of corrosion to start with. I decided that I would paint it instead.
The camera battery was flat so I could not photo it and then my son arrived and took it with him. We will test it out next weekend up at Crago. At any rate my handiwork is usually not very photogenic.
