mirror grinding

Hi guys

I bought the mirror three months ago and started quickly. it took me about thre days to reach the depth 2.2mm. Progress stopped for a month because I wasn,t sure which stroke to use. Four weeks ago I started the fine grinding and roughly doing 1 hour a day on average (sometimes I go berserk and do four to five hours other times when the sky is clear I do nothing). I estimate that it will take me about two weeks to get through the rest of the grits. I did have a setback when a chip came of the edge and almost ruined my work but I went back a grit and remedied the problem. It took me about three hours of grinding to repair. Because I am a painter by trade sanding is second nature to me and I find it easy. I will try to post some pictures as soon as I can figure out how to.

Regards Cristian
