Try www.emachineshop.com. You can design it on your own compuer and have them
fabricate it from your designs. Surely, scaling a sextant up in size a bit
combined with CAD/CAM accuracy should be able to give you the instrument of your
dreams?

instrument still could never really be appreciated in the sloppy reality of
planet earth, where the temperature and humidity and really allowed to swing far
wider than necessary.<G>
