Josh,

Thank you for your kind comments. I am now considering making a full series on making a telescope from the basics through first light.

If you can make it to Stellafane in Springfield VT, which is not terribly far from Syracuse, please look me up.

Best regards,

Hello my dear Francis, I am happy, to see their willingness to disclose the method of preparation of polidora tool for youth who dared to build their own telescope.

Here in Brazil is not easy for a beginner run ATM similar task. All literature is in English or Spanish, a serious barrier in understanding the distance. Temos's Atm that respond to our appeal, but the distances are enormous for a more efficient communication.

Congratulations;
