How to Make a telescope _Part 2)
This is part 2 of my tutorial on how to make an 8 inch reflector telescope. In part 1 I showed you how to make the OTA or optical tube assembly (The red tube part). In this part of the tutorial we make the mount that holds it (The blue part).
This is a unique and very effective design I call “The Cabinet Mount” telescope because it is also a small cabinet that will hold your various telescope and astronomy things like eyepieces, barlow lenses, astronomy magazines and anything else. It keeps it all organized and in one place for you.
You don’t need any particular skills to make this telescope mount. Just some simple tools, some wood and a few other parts. I explain to you exactly what you need and how to do it.
Wonderful little telescope that is portable, easy to use and easy to make. I like it! It is the Cabinet Mount Telescope!
The main bearing that rotates the telescope is called a lazy susan and it is readily available in many styles. The one I use is sturdy and cost me around eleven dollars. The white things you see that the telescope moves up and down on are simple pvc pipe fittings you can buy at the home depot or Lowes.
