Welcome to my Newtonian Reflector Telescope Build

Hello. This is a slow-moving project, but eventually I hope to have a completed Newtonian style reflector telescope to show. I'm the sort of person who usually has more than one project on the go at once, which means all my projects tend to progress slowly (unless I have a particular aim in mind). I don't tend to blog much about my projects, unless they are of particular interest, but you may find I have one or two others being blogged about. As of June 18, 2011, I started up my new blog about the archtop guitar I've begun. Not much to talk about yet, but as I get going I should be able to start posting soon. And, of course, as this Newtonian project moves along I will post here too.

Long time, no write.

Not that I think there are many people following this, but I wanted to make a quick post to let people know that I do intend to continue this blog. I have recently gotten some 10" diameter tube with which to make the body of the telescope. Problem is, I have yet to get the primary mirror. I'm thinking that may happen some time over the summer. Had some priority expenses come up over the last while (not the least of which was a dental bill for my daughter) but should be back on track soon.
