We have 20 members in the initial stages of grinding mirror blanks in 6", 8" and 10" sizes, being instructed by our club's "master optician" who has experience grinding mirrors up to 25". It is really a fun experience, something that has slowly been lost over the years in our hobby, but we are glad there is a DIY resurgence! Our website is http://www.naperastro.org and we will be posting photos soon of our progress.
