[COLOR="Purple"]Single upper ring flexed.
Double ring better.
Double ring with focuser board attached top and bottom best!!
This is still in the raw state...it will look a lot better once I've "prettied" it up by rounding corners, sanding and staining.
There is the slightest of flex if I grab the bottom of the focuser board and push hard. I'm not worried because I'm sure that push is a lot more force than even my heaviest EP will exert while in the focuser.
As a bonus, I may be able to use the nice open space of board above the focuser to mount a lightweight finder. As is, the upper "cage" weighs 6.5 pounds.
Here's a pic of the back side trying to show the hardware to mount to both rings.
