Someone who's mailbox is full asks in a PM...
-How much do you reckon would be involved to finish of the mirror? Or would it be too big a job for a first project for me?

Hi,

If you have never made a 6" or 8" mirror before, then you'd be looking at a very steep learning curve to climb to turn this blank into an astronomical objective. Not an impossible task for someone patient and determined, perhaps with a knowledgable friend who can give in-person advice, or even a helpful online forum to guide you...
