There's ton's of stuff on the web about making a reflector telescope. A bunch of it depends on whether you want to grind the mirror yourself or purchase one that's premade. If you want to grind your own, the common size to make is 8". Anything larger gets hard to do by hand and anything smaller, it's cheaper to purchase one that's already made.
