This is an interesting thread, thanks everyone for sharing pictures.
Here is picture of a 6"f5 dob I made a while back using a Meade mirror. The tube is octagonal 4mm ply. I sold this scope. It was very light and great for casual stargazing.
The refractor is 6"f15, also octagonal tube made with 4mm ply. The lens is made by D&G. I wrote a review that you can read here at Ice in Space. It is not the most convenient scope to use but the views are worth it.
