I've got an unfinished 8-inch mirror that I spent a month of evenings grinding... Someday I'll get around to polishing and building out a cargo-bike-collapsable structure for it.
A cool thing about DIY telescopes: You can get better results than a commercial mirror, because you can turn your time into quality at a rate which is not economically feasible for manufacturing.
