WOOD WONDERS

I got my first dob in 2005 and quickly realized the I needed an adjustable observing chair. Bending over just doesn't work. I started researching the different chairs on the internet and keep landing on the Catsperch as a highly recommended design but was no longer available. So, being a wood worker I made one going by the pictures on the Catsperch web site. Made such a huge difference in my observing experience. The design was so solid and well thought out. After a couple weeks of using my new chair and realizing the importance of being comfortable at the eyepiece, I started thinking about building these chairs and making them available to the astronomy community again. I contacted Jim Fly, the originator of the Catsperch, to see if I could help him get the chairs back on the market. He sent me a set of plans and I built a couple proto-types of "The Original Catsperch" and "Catsperch Frazier Pro". After working through the long list of backorders the chairs were again on the market...
