Post Telescope making thread.

Looking through the iceinspace threads I cant find much talk on making telescopes.
I have spent the past three months reading, studying, note taking and drawing up plans for a 14" to 16" truss tube Dobsonian Telescope. It has been a steep learning curve but an engaging one.
In the process i have had many questions that come to mind that may have been answered by someone out there.
I may in turn have answer for others interested in similar goals.
Just putting it out there.
Its a long term project that will take at least 8 months just to save the money for the glass.
