I do not wish to use a track-n-train setup as I do not want apparent rotation of the object I will be observing.

I would like to go through someone with experience in building these platforms rather than go through a cabinet maker that I find randomly in the yellow pages.

I would like to find someone in Australia that can make them, as from what I understand is they can contain a fair amount of wood and I simply do not want the potential trouble with quarantine.

Any suggestions would be absolutely appreciated.

Cheers,

Trent
I haven't built an equatorial platform for some time but I would like to build one for my 16in lightbridge.

I have the workshop, tools and machinery maybe we could get together and make a couple.
