Unfortunately buying the mirror and hardware would cost more than buying a complete OTA. However if you're willing to makes as many parts such as spider vanes for the secondary and the primary mirror cell as you can and then pickup the mirror cheap on Astrobuysell then you could do it on a tight budget.

Hi all I made my own dob .I used bicycle spokes for my spider and got a friend to make the secondary mirror holder from aluminium to attach the spokes to the tube. John

why not stick some pix on here of your scope John? It's always good to see some ATM work.
