Yes, or just park your car out of the garage while you build your scope

You can buy a Chinese router for under $100 , to cut top rings and side bearings. The rest can be cut at a plywood supplier. With the great diversity of ready to go components from Truss connecters to mirror holders to focusers available these days, its not too arduous a job to build a dob and a lot of fun. Plenty of people scattered all over Australia are doing it and you have the pleasure of building something that is unique to you .
