Hi all...here's my problem...I need help finishing my telescope.I'm about 85% finished...started 2 yrs ago...I'm disabled with a lung/brain disease so sometimes my body doesn't work very well..between life and my wife hiding it in the back of our shade seems like its been forever.I'm building a truss 6" f=8 reflector..I have the base finished..the mirror mounted....just need help finishing the drill holes for the truss..mounting to upper end...mounting diagnal...final assembly...need someone with woodworking skills..would probably be about 2 hours or less work...will travel up to 75 miles...I live in eastern Maryland..I just don't have a place to work....would give a casio 3.3meg digital camera as payment...on SS disability..short on cash...thanks George

George,
Perhaps you can find help from a local astronomy club. The Clear Sky Clock shows a number of clocks in Maryland:
http://cleardarksky.com/csk/prov/Maryland_map.html?Mn=meteorites
Clicking on them, I find one in your area operated by the Howard Astronomical League:
http://www.howardastro.org/
Harford Community College and the Harford County Astronomical Society
http://www.harford.edu/ and http://www.harfordastro.org/
There may also be other clubs in your areas.
I'm certain that they can help you (or know someone who can).
Good Luck,
Allen
