Yeah, that was probably being a bit extreme re precaution. I wasn't sure how much heat the sun's reflection would generate, so I didn't want to risk cooking the real one. I went inside, looking around for something I could mount in the lnbf arm yoke. The wooden thing is actually just something I made which originally had no function. I was just playing around making wooden threads with a gadget I bought, but after making it, I found out that it worked perfectly as a nut-cracker for almonds. But here, I also found that it worked perfectly to screw into the lnbf arm, positioning itself right about where the lnbf would be. So you can always find a use for something with no use, which is why I never throw anything away, which my wife isn't happy about.
