Yee-hah!
Well, I just put my name on a 12.5" mirror blank at the local scope making workshop! I wasn't planning to grind myself, but everyone was so friendly and enthusiastic about doing it all by hand that I got swept away! So I start next Friday! Still thinking of doing the Telekit. I'm no carpenter, and designing and building a mount seems a heck of a lot more involved to me than doing the mirror, which is just very time-intensive...
Thanks to all who gave their input on sizes. Looking for Kriege's Dobsonian scope book for some "light" bedtime reading, but it's all very exciting...
