Filter Holder

The eyebolt is used to swing the holder to put the filter in or out of the light path.

Wood Tube Reflector

Posted By Bill Byrd

Very nice Willie! I really like the color. What was the weight of the tube? Just curious.

Gary Wolanski - still in business?

Posted By Bill Byrd

I hope he's still around. Maybe he's away at one of the spring star parties. I'd give him a few days to respond.

Bee Closeup

Posted By Bill Byrd

Nice pic Rob! Did you use any close up attachments? I have a CP4500 and I've been happy with its closeup abilities but I haven't gone this close. Guess I need to see what the limits are and then decide if I need to get closer.

Scope finished, thank you for your help!!

Posted By Bill Byrd

Looks great!! Have you considered something to finish off the ends of the tube? Door edge guard trim, available at any auto parts store, works well and is easy to do. I've used it on several of my creations. So now that it's done, how does it perform?
