Making a Dobsonian mount

[@cattaraugustonawanda4426]

Interesting design! I built similar but made a U shaped part that holds the rings and bearings (brass/Teflon in my case) which allows the rings to be opened for removal of the OTA or rotating the OTA easily. I used a lazy Susan bearing to replace the record which turns better than my record allowed. I inserted a tiny 1/4" thrust bearing at the top of the center pivot which also helped the smooth operation. Fun stuff to play with.

Podría compartir los moldes??

Szép! Mivel telítetted a rétegelt lemezt? Vízállóságra gondolok.

Csónaklakkal.

I am here to add to the voices of the comment section in asking if you have any plans you might share for this.

[@horvathtamas3476]

Hello! It's an old design, the plans no more available.

Nem mindenkinek van CNC gepe otthon!

[@horvathtamas3476]

Nekem sem volt, amíg nem terveztem és építettem. Nem csak cnc-géppel lehet zsámolyt készíteni!

[@ronjones4069]

There was no information at all, only a few minutes of watching power tools. Nothing about why you did this, to cautions about what to look out for, no suggestions of other methods, nothing worthwhile. Too bad, because you went to a lot of trouble to make the video and the mount. Thanks anyhow.

its not a tutorial

[@pdu999]

Terrible angry music really detracts from what you are trying to convey. Can't watch this ...

[@RCzan13]

I liked the music.

[@Handles-R-Lame]

Me too, work calls for work music. Star gazing calls for ambience. Man at work.

[@Handles-R-Lame]

Also very assuming of you to call it "angry" it may be peaceful to some.

[@epic_playz4283]

I hate rock.

[@szaki]

Skip the crap music!

[@horvathtamas3476]

If it’s not your style, not my fault. You can switch off you speaker, while you watch the video.

[@szaki]

@@horvathtamas3476 When you go to a star party observing , you blast place with hard rock or techno music? Poor soul!

[@horvathtamas3476]

Dear szaki. This is not relevant. I obseving without any music or noise. This is two different thing, don’t mix them.
