mirror grinding workshops

Hi All,
Hope this is ih the correct section.
Just joined and need some advice from you folks if that's ok.


I live in WA, 6036 and I’ve been looking for mirror grinding workshops for a while now and haven’t found any.
I have a large paragon electric kiln which I have modified and built myself a grinding machine for the blanks that I produce. The problem is the blanks aren’t grinding as well as expected so I was very interested in a mirror grinding workshop for some hands on experience.
Was prepared to travel to the US for a workshop, as long as it was more than a couple of days to gain some experience, but thought I would exhaust my searches here first. Then had this brilliant idea to ask an experienced person for help first. Tried the West Australian astronomy club but it appears there’s not enough call for it. It’s not so much a person having ground one although that's a hell of an achievement it’s more of a workshop situation that I’m looking for at the moment.
What do you think, have you heard or been aware of any.

Best Regards,
Terry
