The mount is made from standard 19 mm particleboard. It is cheap and
commonly available. In most shops, you can bring a cutting list, and
you receive ready cut, square pieces. Pick any color you want, or, you
can buy the small cutting leftovers very cheaply. </p>

The lens body has an outer diameter of 25 mm. To convert it to a
standard 1.1/4" eyepiece size, cut a cardboard strip, and glue it
around the bottom (widest) part of the lens. Take a Kodak film
canister, and cut of the bottom . Now put the lens inside the film
canister. </p>

tripod </a>
This article describes how to make a very sturdy, very tall (almost 2
meters) tripod. It will easily hold your giant binoculars, your 150 mm
refractor or even a lighter 250 mm Newtonian OTA! Buying such a tripod
(if you can find one that is this tall) will easily cost you more than
400 €.</p>

are many reasons for grinding your own mirror. Either you want a
