Making telescope mirrors

Hi all,
I have a new video on grinding and polishing telescope mirrors! There isn't much explanation going on in this video, it's more like a compilation. Hope you find it interesting!

Good on you Logan.
Are you accepting work?
How much to change an f5 12 inch mirror into an f3?

Never having made a mirror or even seen one being made, I enjoyed that very much.


Well done!
