[QUOTE="madtuna, post: 555146, member: 44"] It was a timber truss dob I built from plans from a how to book on building dobs. The Primary was Zambuto but the secondary was out of a Skywatcher. The focuser was a dual speed feather touch. The box and trusses were made out of home made ply made out of 12 sheets of veneer. Actually making the ply and the box was probably the hardest part but it came up beautifully. I ended up getting the timber work finished off professionally after I near ruined it myself. It came up like glass. Silly me wanted bigger so I sold it and built a 20" but got Swayze mirrors this time. I never used the 20" as much as the 16" as it was massive and heavy. [/QUOTE]
