George is a one off all right - he's got the most SUBTLE sense of humour, which gets me in stitches, and BOY can he make mirrors!
He can fully figure an 8 inch mirror from blank to finished in 8 hours. (He would say that it still needed minor adjustments) . He's made several 18 inch mirrors and has a 32 inch telescope, and is making a 42 inch mirror...out of aluminium.
