A Handmade Telescope

20100102001

Yes, I know most telescopes on the market are much more elegant than the one presented here, but you know why we decided to introduce it to you guys?

It is because the story of making the telescope has deeply moved us. A man who had never attempted wood-working before made the telescope all by hands for his wife and it is the deep love for her that drove him on to complete the project. So it must have been very difficult for him to DIY such a special gift and his wife is really lucky to have so nice a husband.

If you’re planning to give your wife a big surprise, you may also try to DIY something, though not that large or complicated.
