Homemade CCD filter wheel ??

Has anyone made their own CCD filter wheel?

Or know of any websites that describe such a project?

I know I can purchase a relatively inexpensive wheel from
Miown, but I was thinking about making one from scratch.

Thanks in advance.

kwang,

The Gentleman's name is Chris Heapy. He has made some of the finest custom made accessories pieces I have seen. He has a detailed description of a manual color filter wheel that he produced that is fantastic. You will need some machining skills though. I have enclosed a picture of the one I made using his as my guide.
