Observatory Update: Designing a Custom Steel Pier - Part I
This video complements my blog post describing the design of 4 custom piers that I will be making for my observatory build.
That blog post can be seen here:

In this video, I share my thinking on what piers I will use for the four telescopes that my observatory will support.
While I started with concrete piers in my design, I have since shifted to the creation of four custom steel piers. This video is Part I and covers how the design evolved. Part II will cover the cutting of steel parts with a powerful laser. Part III will show the final results!
Thanks,
Pat
