If you have the Kriege book it really isnt that difficult to make. My scope took approx 6months to build, but that was only on weekends usually. If I wasnt so fussy, it would have taken me 2 months. But I like to get things as good as I can get them.
I wouldnt consider it an "overwhelming project" at all. If you sit down and plan things out, it really is quite simple. Mark is right, a huge amount of money can be saved if you DIY.
This scope below is the first ever scope I have built, and it turned out way better than I expected it too. The best part of DIY is the sense of accomplishment when you gaze into the EP on a nice night, knowing you are looking at the universe through something you handbuilt.
Having said that I would buy an SDM scope in an instant if I had a lot of spare money!!
