ATM Not hard

["Asaf S.-T." <asafs@ibm.net>]

I really don't undestand something:

Now that I finnaly understood all of the equations, the way the telescope 
works, all of the kinds of mounts & stuff, I don't really think that ATM 
is hardwork (maybe exept doing the mirror). The only thing which is 
stopping me of building the telescope is the far place where I need to 
buy the plywood.

So why is it that people say that the biggest aperture telescope who 
someone can build by himself is 16"? I think that if I'd have all of the 
wood pieces and everything for building even a 30" telescope, I could do 
it. Even thougth I still didn't finish my first telescope.

I really don't understand.
