Nice Dob on wheel idea
Found this on cloudy nights, now thats prety cool. I recall someone was after a wheelbarow type wheel mod. Well here is one nice idea.

I looked it up the user and then his post, because i saw it in his photo for another mod. A fan mod not bad either.

And during the day you can put your golf clubs in it and trundle it around the course. That fan should help you up the hills. Two hobbies in one - what a result

I like it
I have my 10" Dob on castors & this works fine for my yard.
This takes it to a whole new level though.
A great neighbourhood party accessory

I know keeping your primary cool is important Dave but that is crazy. Great idea on the beer though.

That's not a bad little jig for moving the scope around. Might be just what I am looking for.
