Page I.2: From wood to observatory, bottom frame

The pier is already in place, it's not a flat surface under it but it's rock so no problem with ground stability. Here are my wooden studs that will make up my bottom frame. They are 1.95 meter long and 45 x 70 mm wide, maybe a little bit weak for some parts but that's what I have too work with. And it's better with many small ones than a few heavy ones.

If you haven't read about my pier build project you have it here:

• Project: Pier mount

Here is the first wooden pillar in one corner bolted together with the studs. The angles must be exact 90 degrees.

The bottom frame in place and one corner pillar.

All corner pillars in place. Maybe I cut off the legs later and replace it with stronger 100 x 100 mm wide legs.
