[wood]

hi' im
looking for sum astronomy wood working patterns,
telescope, observatory,

[CanadianScroller]

a little off topic but here you go

Here is a link to build a telescope, some home made tripods, an observatory
and finally a source of optics

The MakeZine is a great source for this and other projects.
once "wood" has seen the reply I will move the thread to "Off topic"

I attached a picture of my 10" Dobsonian that I designed and built a few years back. It collapses down into a box (the size of the base) as I wanted it to be able to fit into my 300ZX along with my camping gear. I would recommend the book Building a Dobsonian Telescope by Kriege and Berry. This is only sort of off-topic, as it still has to do with woodworking.

Here's a couple of links to get you started:
http://members.aol.com/sfsidewalk/dobplans.htm (great site with plans to build a scope)
http://observatory.lenaghen.com/ (plans for building a $300 observatory)
