Thank you for the instructions and making it easy. It was a breeze to install. Much easier than I thought.

Ohh wow, awesome idea!! I like the fact that us amateurs have options other than the current Dob dollies on the market that seem to be well made yet extremely expensive.

I probably won't get these for my AD8 since it's not too bad to carry (base & OTA separate) and the added height probably wouldn't work well with the observing chair I use with it, but that AD12 that's in my very near future is definitely get a set!!

I duct-taped a lot of coaster wheels to the bottom of my dobsonian years ago. This would've been nice to have had then!

[BobGeogeo]

Nice idea but... Won't the weight of the scope tend to pull the plate mounting screws out of the ground board over time?

I am just curious at stability on inclines and over door thresholds.

For best results just drill down a little with the bit not to go all the way through. You just need a hole for the screw to start.
