I enjoy building and creating things, and I apply that to astronomy. I've built most every tripod for my equipment. Sometimes it was to save money; other times it was because I just wanted to build something that didn't exist through retail outlets. I'll share pictures and descriptions of what I have done; perhaps it will inspire you to create a great mount for your equipment.

Having found various ways to eke the most performance out of equipment that's far more affordable for the average person, I'll do my best to not only share the things that I've learned and built over the last two decades, but also anything else I happen to find on the web that's useful too.
