That is genuine Old School Skill Brother!
Great work! Funky. Organic. Practical. Elegantly simple. I dig it!
It's great to see that vintage South Bend machine is still rockin.
Though modern CNC machines are great for large-repetitive production runs, there will always be a need for hand operators with good old fashioned know-how.
You are keeping that skill-set / knowledge base alive. And you are doing this for astronomy! A great thing!
Now go look at the universe and "get your awe on!";-)

@BudgetAstronomer Pretty sure Losmandy makes most of Celestron's mounts. They made the GEM on my CG925. (They made it, I modded it.)
Nice work. Ingenious use of the available tools.

Now that is passion. 10 years ago I would have such patience, but no more.

When the goal is to have fun, rather than to have a finished product, it doesn't require that much patience.

A waste of time...should have used a saw to get rid of most of the mass...basic stuff.

If I had the right saw...
Besides, the point is not just to make a product, the point is to *play with the toys*!
