Building Bear Claw Observatory

This is part 2 of the Bear Claw Observatory build. View part 1 here: https://youtu.be/I8-NAFoRHRA
In this video I take you through the construction of the Bear Claw Observatory and how it got its name. I've broken down the video into chapters as well.

This is a very solid structure designed to hold the weight of 3ft (1 meter), of snow, but with the rising cost of materials it can also get expensive. For an awesome budget observatory video check out my YouTube friend, Astrobloke's video as well: https://youtu.be/5aq4PHKy_jI
