Websites with plans for telescope making?

Hi All, I am thinking about making my own newtonian reflector telescope. I have
an idea of how to go about it, but would like to look at some other ideas on
going about it. Also, do both the primary and secondary mirrors have to be
adjustable?
Thanks.

YEs the primary and secondary have to be adjustable for good
collimation. Nasa also has the same orginal John Dobson plans.

Using Google will provide a whole wealth of info on telescope making from
grinding the mirrors to construction of the telescope assemblies themselves.
There are even plans on making collapasible telescopes that you can take
aboard planes if necessary.
