Sounds great! Thought so, but figured it couldn't hurt to offer. I look forward to using it. You taking advanced payment? On Sun, Oct 2, 2011 at 11:12 AM, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:

Chuck,
I'm on the backup list in case you are able to make more than you originally took orders for. I am largely unaware of the design you are using to build these scopes, however, I noticed you said lathe! If the design requires wood turning I have a lathe and experience if you would like any help.
Thanks for the offer of help Josh, but I'm good. Each scope has 2 plastic parts that I'm turning on my metal lathe, no wood involved.
It's basically a traditional refractor, with an integrated, non-removeable solar filter. (The filter can be replaced, however, if ever needed, but it should last a lifetime) Rack and pinion focuser, included 1.25" star diagonal.
You and Jay Eads are both on the standy list, and it looks like you both will get a scope.
I cleaned-out my suppliers of focusers and objectives but both say they will be restocked in coming months. If so, I'll do another batch this winter.
