Add up the cost of Primary and secondary mirrors, 2 Mirror cells, spider, focuser, finderscope and finder mount, materials for the dob mount, eyepieces, etc. etc.
It comes to quite a lot.
You can buy a very good quality 10" Dob for $649 including eyepieces.
Saves time building and more time in the sky!
If you still want to make your own, like some of us in here have done, make it on the nights when you are not viewing through the bought one.

Yeah good point I know , but it's just that bit more speacial when you know you made it with your own two hands (appart from the secondary mirrors, 2 Mirror cells, spider, focuser, finderscope and finder mount, materials for the dob mount, eyepieces, etc. etc.)thats all
