Or you can buy mirrors and use sonitube properly sized for mirror & focal length. If you’re carpentry skills are adequate you can build a nice mount, too! https://stellafane.org/tm/dob/mount/cradle.html. I’ve seen some beautiful custom designs, artistic cabinetry with exotic woods. Look online for examples. If I lived in California near the foothills this would be a great mount for a big beautiful telescope. And Mexico can pay for it!

Maybe next years’ project for me.
