Can someone post a step-by-step guide in here as how to build a telescope.

I looked all over and cannot find anything on this.

And was wondering if we could make it easier and have a step-by-step instruction posted here. 

Im interested in Building a Dobsonian, as they have been mentioned alot and seem the easier one to do.

( Edited ) 

 That's a tall order! You don't even state what type of telescope you would like to make. A trip to the library would be in order.

The ins and outs of building a telescope are far too complex to be covered step by step in a post, but there are books.  One popular book that does cover the topic step-by-step is "Building the Dobsonian Telescope" by Dave Kriege and Richard Berry.  As John mentioned, a trip to the library might be in order.

"making and enjoying telescopes' is a good book, if outdated. It has plans for building four or five different telescopes.

Hi,

The advice you have received so far is pretty good. You should also be able to find lots of material on the www. I have seen lots of telescope building sites; some give pretty good details, others are a bit vague. Just try searching the net as a first step in your process. If you can't find what you require on line, then hit the librabry and find the already mentioned books. Richard Berry wrote a great 3 part Dobsonian building article in the  June-Aug Astronomy issues (1980). You could try to order a reprint. You can also look at my website (address in the signature). This will give you an overview of what you are getting into.

Good luck with your project.

I found a good internet guide on step by step making of a telescope, looks pretty good, and shows you how to make everything, including the spiders, and the base (also gives info about the calculations needed, which I could not find anywhere else)

Im sure this will help alot of people who cannot find a guide for building their own telescope.

Im going to be building a 20" Telescope soon.
