Article on building a classically-inspired permanent pier

Hey guys -- I just posted an article on building an open-air permanent pier for solar observing. Might also be of interest to night-time viewers wanting something more permanent than a tripod but not wanting to go all the way to an observatory.

Oh, and it has a good "wife appreciation factor" as well. Check it out, it's in the DIY section of the Articles.

(Any feedback on the article would also be appreciated.)

Cheers,

Well done Jeff. It looks the biz.
How about a removable sundial top?

Frank --

Indeed, a removable sundial would be easier to mount. My problem was that I already had one of those. In fact, it was that (non-removable) sundial that gave me the idea!

Hey Jeff,
very nice and well disguised!
