Home made Alt-azimuth mount head

Posted By mark gottlieb

Hello All.

Looking for an alt-azimuth mount head for my cinder block pier for my 6" f5 refractor.
A member here mentioned that;  "Someone here on Astromart makes/sells a good one but I can't remember his name."
If that person gets this message could you send me a note. 
Thank you very much.

Cinderblock Pier?

Posted By mark gottlieb

I've seen several piers build of 8x8x16" cinderblocks.   Some are simply connected with concrete adhesive and some being bolted as well.  
Have any of you used such a thing and if so .... can you share any problems you've encountered?
Thanks for your time.
