Perhaps if you were trying to modify a bellows from another mount, it might
be worth the bother, but for tubes, as Bill has advised, they go so cheaply
it is hardly worth the effort to make one. A 25mm auto tube can also be made
from a 2x converter, by removing the glass elements. It takes maybe 30
seconds to modify. The last two 2x converters I bought on epay were NIB for
a whopping $1.99 each, plus shipping - hardly worth trying to make one.
