That sounds an impressive project. What are you using to hob the wormwheel? I used an M12 tap to cut the Wwheels for my 190:1 drives.
Further up the thread there is discussion on field flatteners... There is a bloke on the Gold Coast that built a 20" f3 (BVC blank), made the flattener from modified surplus optics and it's all controlled by a Bartels stepper drive. The guy is very successful at discovering asteroids (Over 400 I believe) and a comet - perihelion late last year.
The point is that it's all achievable I wish to give you every encouragement and I look forward to watching your progress.
