Looks nice!  Had a look at your website and read the bit about how your not 
happy with the edge supports.  One really neat idea (i thought) that i saw 
on a Clive Milnes 20 inch binoscope a few months ago was his main mirror 
edge supports.  He uses a couple of castor type plastic wheels at (i 
think)  in the normal place for a two point edge support. Looked like the 
wheels would roll as the mirror is moved back and forth for collimation so 
that there is no grab or sticking.  He's got a website but i'm not sure if 
its got photo's of that particular bit.

Seeyahs!
