127mm f/9.4 Cradle Rings Construction - Knurled Knob Side - Complete!

 

The completed Cradle Rings and Dovetail connection system complete - Knurl Knob Locking Side.

 

This concludes the construction overview of the Cradle Rings and Dovetail plate/ bar connection system. I hope that this overview depicting the construction of the Cradle Rings, Dovetail Plate, and Dovetail Bar has been informative to all ATM'ers interested in constructing their own means of supporting a refractor telescope. The next step in completing the 127mm f/9.4 "Brigadier General Richard Pierce" refractor is the making of the North Star II Field Tripod.
