I too looked at that, considered it, then figured it to be slightly overpriced without confirming the above as per Allan's post.

I always tend to underestimate the cost of building something myself, not including the time take to make it and re-make to my satisfaction!

You need to consider that the bases are laminated and that you will want to build a base that has a similar if not better level of moisture protection.

If, however, you could find a 10" dob base from someone who has mounted their tube onto a tripod etc, then it may well be economical.
