Just ordered my AWB

New to the hobby and the littles (6 and 8) have been asking for a scope. As much as i like diving head first into hobbys, and load up on toys, I managed to talk myself off the ledge on starting w a 12" dob. Looking at building a Eq. mount for it to help the kids stay on target. I've read through the first 15 or so pages of the 170+ on the cloudy site, and various searches, but any tips or tricks to help would be greatly appreciated. We also have "Turn left" in the mail. Thanks folks!
