Guest @ndyC Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Over the Christmas holiday i made myself a custom made SCT case. I followed a guide to making the case from the Sky at Night CD Rom from a few months ago and after some careful measurements,cardboard prototypes,sore knees and cut fingers led to my very own custom case. Total cost of materials- £60. Cost of satisfaction in Astro DIY- Priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Nice one Andy - perfect fit and I think wooden cases bearing astro gear look dead classy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfruit Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Whilst the rest of us were getting drunk or eating too much, you came up with this. Good job Andy, looks very neat for a bit of diy. Hope to see it first hand next time you come to a meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest @ndyC Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Thanks everyone for all your comments about the case,getting hold of the brass corner pieces in Boston was like J R Hartley looking for the book Fly Fishing: Memories of Angling Days By J R Hartley (I sure you remember the advert).
