Nice job Bill. Thumbsup

What is the purpose of the locking knob on the barrel near the eyepiece?

I recently discovered the joys of naturally finished wood when making grips for my .45 out of Kingwood. That has a lot more oil in it than cherry and maple so I'm surprised you were able to get such a nice finish.

Tom,

That knob locks one mirror in place. There are 3. It is used to make the image show more or less facets. I can close to 18 facets (segments) or open to just 4 facets.

We have decided that this will be the next Kaleidpscope. This one has weight driven optics.

The first print is never right. A lot of changes and this looks final. On to the barrel and optics.
