Thanks John, that's been a ligthning answer! Having a sleepless night?
As I recall, he runs the Coffee Shop....BTW I didn't know you were an astronomer!
That's taking things in positive, BTW I didn't know you were an astronomer!

(I agree with his comments on the grain orientation.)
I like John's explanation better. He drives a telescope. A celestial Ralph Kramden, if you will.C'mon Vaughn... Which one of you is kidding me?

About the only way I like coffee is if you add a package of hot cocoa mix, some cream, and about three packs of sugar to it. Not only does it mask the coffee flavor enough for me to drink it, after one cup I can go roto-till the parking lot down at the mall. With the engine turned off.... though lately I'm finding hot chocolate keeps me awake much better
Man, did we hijack Toni's thread or what?
...the bottom is usually fastened to the back through a slot that will hold it tight up against the back but will still allow it to move.
Well, I'm more of an astronomical bus driver , larger telescopes and radio telescopes in particular tend to have operators (like me) who configure the instrument and set up the observations for the astronomers, who mostly deal with designing the observing program and dealing with the resulting data.
Its a fairly easy job on the whole, and has a great schedule for a woodworker, as I work 7- 12 hour days and then get 7 days off.
To further illustrate Todd's description, imagine you've got a drawer box with grooves in all four sides to hold the plywood bottom in. If you want to make the bottom out of solid wood, imagine you cut the bottom narrower - right at the top of the groove - so that the drawer bottom can slide in from the back after the box is assembled. To keep it from sliding back out - if you don't make the groove too tight, like I always do - you make an oval hole through the bottom and screw it to the back of the drawer.
I'll post you a picture when I get back home, unless someone else beats me to it
