Question concerning mirror making project

Hello, people of sci.astro.amateur,
I am working on an independent study project that involves making a
small telescopic mirror. The professor's idea is to turn the mirror
out of aluminum or perhaps stainless. We have access to CNC machinery
and can turn a parabola according to a formula within accuracy of
+/-.0005". The blank will be about 2" diameter. Then we would grind
and lap it, then platinum plate through deposition.
My question to the good people of this group is, does this sound
feasible? This project is not for looking at stars. It has to do with
creating special eyeglasses. Once finished, a small rectangular
section will be removed then embedded in the eyeglass lens. But I am
not here to debate the pros or cons of that part of it. It is the
mirror part I was looking for feed back on, or for leads about which
sources of information might be helpful.

Thank You,
