Grinding mirrors

Part of the ATM experience is making your own mirrors.

I have 3 polishing machines..all of different designs and ability.

Here is a picture of several sized being run. First my 17" on the Porter polisher..a students 8" and I'm making a 12.5" for a CN friend. the latter 2 are being polished on amy 4 spindle machine..that can polished 4 different sizes at the same time with different strokes and speeds. it's a slick machine for sure. Fun fun fun mirror making here.

On my website www.goldmtobservingcenter.com there is a video link to some polishing of the 12.5.

Been pretty busy working in the shop making mirrors.

I cut this blank from stock glass and am now hogging out the sagitta. This mirror is for a friend.
