This sounds very interesting! I'd love to see how this is done.

Why don't we have a mirror grinding party when it's too cloudy for a star party :)

Sounds good to me!
And if the weather of the past few months is anything to go by, we'll have plenty time to keep ginding until we all have 1/20 wave optics! :)

Seriously, I think it would be meeting up sometime to see how this is done.

Hi Dave,

Would you be interested in giving us at SDAS a talk on Telescope making ?

Sounds fascinating.
