Dave beat me to it! Yes, Galvoptics will cover the lot, including cleaning and aluminising your finished glass. In the meantime, get yourself a copy of "How to Make a Telescope" by Jean Texereau, if you haven't already got it.

Dave - Finished grinding the 14" and am already more than half way through polishing. I have also completed fine grinding / smoothing the three 10 inch blanks, one of which is destined to become a flat. I'm motoring, dude, so get your skates on and let's see your baby finished too!

Phil.

PS - Still have to grind out the other two 10 inch surfaces (convex and concave)
