To date, I have had the privelege of restoring only these two treasures of the past. If more telescopes come to light, they will be published here with progressive updates as they are built over time.

Lost, are so many of our history's beautiful instruments. If you have any old parts you think may be part of a telescope, whatever the condition, I would encourage you to contact me before you throw them out. Even though they may not be worth much money, I believe in preserving them for our future enjoyment and preservation of a more elegant age.

I hope these projects provide inspiration to those who may be thinking of building or restoring a precision instrument. You will see that this type of work is simply a matter of patience. Skill develops along the journey, while the end result is profoundly fulfilling.
