I have never made one myself, but I had a looking through a similar setup made by Normal Fisher (I think that was his name) about 30 years ago at an astro camp in Ashdown Forest. It had un-silvered mirrors and no wedge, the view was a bit on the bright side compared with modern full aperture “solar film” type filters. It was about the same size as you’re proposing as well just over 8″ I think.

As I recall it gave very nice views.
