After about 2 months of working obsessively on this, I finally completed my 17.5” f/4.5 Dobsonian telescope! If you’d like to see the progress from start to finish, feel free to read through my Cloudy Nights thread: https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/746807-175-f45-truss-tube-dobsonian-build-first-build/
There is still some work to be done, like varnishing the wood and working out some mechanical stuff... but the “Mark I” of it is complete!

this picture looks like it was taken in the 80’s. Just replace the watch with a Casio calculator watch
