Fork Mount Construction - RA Axis Box Completed

Completed Right Ascension Axis Box (Click for enlarged view)
This photo shows the completed RA Axis Box ready for the installment of the left and right arms that make up the Fork Tines. To complete the RA Axis Box's construction,  the top section holding the shaft is slipped through the flange of the bottom  section of the RA Axis Box. Once aligned, holes were drilled in the lower flange in the same manner as the top section and securely fastened after the top section is attached to the box using waterproof wood glue and woodscrews. This combination makes for a truly solid and stable structure.
