I built an observatory. Recently, I upgraded it with a motor so that
I didn't have to push it open and closed.

I've built several adaptors, stands, ramps, and doo dads of various sorts.

I purchased a small cargo and made a day light astro sleeper out of
it. It has a 12VDC swamp cooler on it and no windows so I can sleep
all day even if it is hot. Many of you have seen it.

I've made a few sets of tripod legs for equatorial heads. Solid wood
legs seem to provide very good damping characteristics.

I've made a few dozen telescopes too ;)
