it was just a thought . i am actually thinking of buying a 4inch primary and a little secondary of ebay to make a telescope just to wet my appetite. mostly for terrestrial and moon viewing. granted it's not actually mirror making. however i spent ten years in a factory cutting granite slabs into kitchen benchtops and running a cnc to cut out the holes for sinks and hotplates in the end the dust was giving my lungs grief and i had to get out of the game. i would like to try making a mirror one day doubt i 'd go down the dry belt sander path. maybe try something similar with a wet polisher perhaps not sure at this point
