A little 6" F/7 scope I built for my Father:

Just thought I'd share some pictures of a scope I just finished for my
Father.

Mostly aluminum framed, with birch plywood filler panels. The
aluminum was powder coated in a powder coating oven I recently
finished, and the birch is finished with hand polished black lacquer.

Press on: nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Calvin Coolidge
