16" DobPosted By Stuart St. Clair |
Thanks for the compliments. The real credit should go to Albert for his fantastically simple and functional design, without which I would never see myself building a 16" scope, or maybe I should use the word "assembling", because I actually had the wood cut to my specifications by someone else, due to my lack of good woodworking tools. I think he used a table saw and a router mainly. I used a router myself to cut out the holes in the rocker box sides and ground board to save a little weight. I used a jigsaw to make the cuts for the Dob-Driver 2.
The picture is in the Coast Range hills about 60 miles west of Fresno where I live.
BTW, I found Albert's contact info by searching on the Internet. I assume if he still wants to be found, he can be. I'm not trying to be rude, but I don't want to give out someone else's contact info.
