Made it myself when I was ~12yo, out of 35mm dia magnifying glass (objective) in cardboard tube, and eyepiece was borrowed from japanese microscope (Corona, 100x).
I counted 14 stars in Pleiades with it !
The first "real" telescope was given to me by my dad for 14th birthday, it was 45mm dia, 760mm FL, 44x ("Juraj Vega").. very good optics.
I will never forget the Saturn I saw through this instrument. I still have eyepiece and focuser, but the rest of it was lost.
