Finally made my own base for my 8" Dob


Recommended Posts

I got tired of waiting for the base to be in stock and decided to make my own.   I think my will last a lot longer because it's not made of press or particle board.   I used 3/4" sanded plywood.  I've attached a picture of the final product.  I took pictures all through the process for anyone that wants to see.  Plus, I have dimensions.    My Apertura 8 had the side brackets and I kept the base bearing and center knob from the old base.

Ended up about the same price as purchasing a new particle board base?

Now, hopefully it's not cloudy.
