I paid $300 for aluminium and $170 for carbon tubes. Looks like the total cost of materials for the OTA structure will be around $700.

The Pyrex cores I accumulated from trepanning CDK primary mirror blanks are coming in handy for making DK secondary blanks. I just have to reduce the diameter of one and slice it into two discs to get two blanks or a blank and a grinding tool.
