Pier Project

I just have paid a visit to the blacksmith where my pier is to be made.
It is almost ready to rock!
The picture below shows a similar pier project in which the big difference will be the bottom plate; mine will be really wide (oh, my...!) and square.

These are the specs I have came up with:

A- 250mm/10"
B- 750mm/29.53"
C- 100mm/3.94" (adjustable)
D- 20mm/0.78"
E- 110mm/4.33"
F- 700mm/23.56"
G- 152mm/5.98"
H- 980mm/35.58" (depending on C)

E/G is a DIY (actually a blacksmith's job) Losmandy MA adapter to connect to my G-11 mount.

I will have it delivered next year, by tuesday or wednesday and will have to set it up as soon as the weather allows it to be bolted on.
In the meantime, a Telegizmos 365 T3G2 cover is also expected soon next week to permanently set my rig up.
Looking forward to it very much.

Hope I can post a picture of the entire rig soon.
