I have been at this for over a year now. Here is an animation and video I have been working on, showing how all the parts I have built, come together.

DUSTY WORK!! Cough, sneeze, splutter....

I got a lot of work done on the old scope today, including carving out the mold for the cast iron pour for the lower half of the mount.
