Hi Everyone,
New to the group. Here's my 18" I started building last August. I have it on a make-shift rocker box so I can atleast use it.

The tulip like bearings are very interesting. The signatures add a little character. wink

Yeah Gary, I like those bearings too. Nice craftsmanship. Looks like you've got a couple half decent sponsors, as well. 8)

Nice! The scenery behind the scope sure looks like a nice dark, dry, desert place that I would stay up all night if I was out there. smile
