ok, Here is the pier so far.My Meade 8" SCT will be mounted on this 12' concrete pier. The plates are being welded now and the small "hut/outhouse" is being constructed.

That is a spiffy design! It reminds me of the grandfathers hut in "chitty chitty bang bang" :-)

Seriously, that is a great build, very well done!
