We are open again!

18 long months. That’s how long we’ve been out of our home at the DDO – Richmond Hill’s David Dunlap Observatory. Mostly, it’s been COVID.

As part of that, last night all the bits for a seamless backdrop setup finally arrived! (via a mis-delivery to mill road!)

With a little help from his friends, the mounts were put in place to hold up to 3 backdrops at a time in the classroom – they can be individually rolled up and down using a chain, and swapped for different colours (we have…

Most use “themes” which give a basic website layout that…

The packaging was quickly ripped open and now all three are in place in the workshop. Have a look for yourself at the unboxing video to see what a couple of hours of lifting, grunting, swearing and bolting parts together can achieve.

What did we get?

The wood lathe is an Axminster Trade AT406WL and has variable speed control, a more…
