Telescope building is a hobby any person can enjoy regardless of manual skill or workshop equipment. The easy way, of course, is to buy your optics and parts readymade, thereby reducing the job to a simple matter of assembly. The most satisfaction is obtained when you make some or all the parts yourself, and the biggest thrill of allis to grind and polish your own mirror. With your own hands you can fashion a glass surfce accurate to a millionth of an inch.
