Rob,

Do you have a specific purpose in mind?

The reason for my question is:

If you are looking at building a Newtonian from parts then you can obtain excellent results using "sonotube" aka concrete formatube. This is cheap, easy to work and commonly used. I have also seen some excellent home made scopes with aluminium tubes.

Cheers,
