Hi all!
Several years back, I brought my 6" F4.5 airline carry-on Dobsonian to
Stellafane. It was also featured in an ATMoB newsletter. People really
liked it, and a few asked if I would be selling them. At the time, I
said no. Now, after gaining knowledge in CNC routing technology, I can
say yes. My company, Inspiration Toolworks LLC is offering them for sale.
See here for the telescope:

and the kit version:

The kit version needs some work in the form of written directions, but I
will be writing those up before delivering a kit. Also, for people in
the area, I'd be happy to deliver a kit and go over the details if
anyone is interested.
Also, I have drawings of the original version available. If you want to
try to make one on your own, go for it! See:

I will be bringing the telescope to November's ATMoB meeting for show
and tell.
I welcome questions or comments.
Thanks!
