I noticed in your FAQ section that you can manufacture all of the necessary parts to make a telescope, if a person has his or her own optics. What would be the approximate cost for all of the wooden parts (rocker box, mirror box, uta) for a 20" telescope. (unassembled, I can get whatever clamps, squares, etc, I need, I just lack the woodworking tools and expertise to make such nice woodwork. Plus it would be faster for you to make and easier to ship.)

There are a few variables to consider, but if you only want the Mirrorbox, Rockerbox UTA rings and Groundboard wood parts, it might run about $1000.
You would still need a router to round off all the edges after gluing.
Thank you,
Jim

Well that's not bad. I'm still in the "dreaming and scheming" phase, btw.
Thanks!
PS. I would probably also want the aluminum bearings, mirror cell, powered groundboard, and some other bits, but those prices are on your website already.
