ATM question: Dob tube using laminate
I'm thinking about building a new tube for my homebuilt 8" Dob this winter. Earlier this year I saw a web page on the Black Knight Telescopes site that had some tips for building a tube using Sonotube with laminate wrapped around the exterior for added stiffness. Unfortunately this particular web site is no longer in existence. Does anyone else know where I might find information on using such a technique to build a tube? Thanks. -Victor Bruhn |

ATM question: Dob tube using laminate
Can't remember the site offhand, but I remember a place that sells wood laminate
tubes. I'll have to see if I can find it again, they are made for telescopes. -- "In this universe the night was falling,the shadows were lengthening towards an east that would not know another dawn. But elsewhere the stars were still young and the light of morning lingered: and along the path he once had followed, man would one day go again." Arthur C.
