Re: Dobsonian mount - azimuth bearing question

It's totaly made of 1/4inch plywood as is the ota tube holder.

The one thing I wish I could find, would a some kind of tube holder that had
like roller bearings in it or rings of such I could put in the box. Would be
better than the metal plates I have glued onto the ota itself to ride on the
inside edge of the ota box.
