Answer 1

You can mount lenses in a tube, which gets costly and awkward with bigger lenses.
Or you can mount a curved mirror in a short tube with an eyepiece, which is how most people do it. You can buy mirrors or learn to grind your own. Kits are available and you can contact people who do it as a hobby on the internet.

Answer 2

The building of an telescope is an interesting hobby only if the building is the aim of the work (you will get many good knowledges from optics and mechanics). But if you only need a cheap telescope, the cheapest way is to buy it. For example dobsonians from Skywatcher are very cheap an of good quality.

Plans for a cheap 8" Dobsonian reflector

http://members.aol.com/sfsidewalk/eightin.htm

8" mirrors available on E-bay regularly for under $70.00 (long link to search inside E-bay for telescope:"mirror"):

Other (diagonal) mirror also available on E-bay in the same category (telescope).

As cheap as all this is to make an 8" Dob. (much less than US$150), Please don't skimp on the eyepieces. Plan on spending at least as much for eyepieces as you do for the rest of this telescope. You can get eyepieces from any good camera store in your city.

good luck with your project!

It's not for the weak hearted and inexperienced. Unless you can get an experienced person to help you, you'll just get frustrated and waste money.
