Adding handles to the 18 inch Dob.

Added some handles and wheels to my 18 inch dob yesterday. Wheels that are shown on it are temporary till the larger ones that I ordered arrive. Handles are removable with a captive bolt, but wheels remain bolted permanently to scope. Cheap wheelbarrow handles and fencing hardware.

Didn’t realize one could buy steel wheelbarrow handles. My first thought was you had bent some electrical conduit. Nice!
