Rainwatcher also put up this link within that sticky. If you scroll down on this website you'll see a section about building your own reflector/newtonian scopes. Just have a browse around and you might find what you're looking for.

Good luck

Hi Simmo, thanks for the details... do I assume then that stating that the mirror needs recoating is effectively saying they are useless until recoated?
