Cabinet for Jason 313 refractor

#1

Post by Alpena67 »

I just finished the wood cabinet I built for my Jason 313. Since most of us are staying home because of the Coronavirus this gave me a chance to finish it. It came out pretty nice overall. There were some challenges getting the lid to fit properly but I finally got it within an acceptable tolerance. Here are some pics.

Thanks! No; the total weight with telescope is about 30lbs. I used 1/2” sheet but honestly this scope is light enough that 1/4” would probably be fine.
