I'd give him an A for effort and for taking the time to share the concepts, no matter how basic they are.

Just bewdyful Bojan..... Such DIY skills there. I can see a TV show slot for him.

Just makes you want do some of his work..... Doesn't it, yes you know you want to....

Reminds me of a Spanish car forum, that did everything against engineering of a car. The car was so DIY, nothing was machined. It was just welded.

Magic Bojan!

o yes...
The website is very interesting for me because there are lots of good ideas.. and if THAT is working well enough, I am just imagining what could be done by someone who is not so inclined towards improvisations :-)

Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder.
I'd love to see him grind an 18" mirror and assemble a scope with all of his ideas incorporated.
EDIT:-Bugger - he actually did it

Yes, he did it.
And I bet it performs very well.. and for the fraction of price most people on this forum would be prepared to cash out for commercial and more beautiful designs, dismissing this as "ugly" and "unreliable looking"...
