Handling a Dinosaur

A little bit of DIY today to get a grip on the T-Rex

Started out with 80x6x600 Aluminium flat bar and a idea stolen from Deep Space Products, USA.

A few hours of grinding, sawing, filing, sanding, bending, drilling, etch priming and painting and a new handle,
which gets sandwiched between the Casady saddle and the T-Rex head (once the paint hardens), is born.

Here are a few pics.

Added the Crux and Pointers (not being pedantic but the holes are drilled to represent the apparent magnitudes ...)
Toliman 4.0mm
Hadar 4.0mm
Acrux 4.0mm
Mimosa 3.5mm
Gacrux 3.5mm
d Crucis 3.0mm
e Crucis 2.5mm
