Houghy, the construction of a "Striker" type observatory can be completed easily with only basic hand tools. You don't really need any experience. If you can use a hand saw and drive a nail that's about all the skills you need. It would be a little more expensive than a Tin Shed but infinitely better. Maybe some local IISers with carpentry skills could assist. I did only one year of woodwork in first year high school, yet managed to build a holiday home of my own design, from scratch, using just hand tools. If I can do it anyone can.
