What type of Collimating Eyepiece?

G'day

I've built an 8 inch F6 newt and am wondering what is really needed to to help get good collimation with it, I have looked up collimators but am a bit confused as to what type would be best, it seems you can go from simple peep hole ones to complex laser types. What would I need?

I would prefer not to buy one so a bit of an idea on a design that I could build would be cool

Cheers
Jo

PS I have access to a wood and metal lathe if thats any help?
