I've read that some folks grind their own mirrors. How successful are
they? I understanding that some folks are talented, but can a
commercial grade mirror be made without the use of "very expensive"
machinery? Have you looked through a scope with (a) home-made
mirror(s)? Or. is it something that one does for the pure sport of it?
It seems like quite and undertaking.

In fact, I thinking of putting it off a while.

Some might be inclined to make a fire by striking two stones together..
It's not terribly efficient in our age of advance pyrodynamics (oh,
the flair to create new words upon demand), but, still, there must be a
certain feeling of achievement in doing it..
