>Hi I am building a 18.75 in Dobsonion, does any one have or know where I
can get a set of planes for a scope of this size.
Tom Clark publishes a very good booklet "The Modern Dobsonian" where he describes in great detail exactly how he builds 15" - 36" Serrier truss tube Dobsonian telescopes. I purchased mine for something like $5 and highly recommend it!

I also remember seeing an advertisement from one of the Dobsonian scope manufacturers in Colorado (Starsplitter maybe?) that listed a construction manual - maybe someone reading this can supply more information.
