good to hear Rich, keep us posted.

Good to read an update and looking forward to seeing the new lap.

Damian

Yeah hoping the new lap will do the trick.as I had a raised centre before I'm thinking that after the regrinding that the lap is missing the new lower centre and there isn't enough material to fill the gap even after a hot press.time will tell :)

Fingers crossed, Unfortunately Rich I'm battling a turned edge? It's taken a week up to now and its steadily moved outward although I think I'm hitting a bit of a brick wall as it doesn't seem to be changing now? Not sure if it's the slight warp on the table thats caused it? 

Isn't going back and back againg going to change the depth of the Sagitta?

It would eventually but I've only gone back to 600 and it would take about 100 hours to grind a mm off the sagitta with 600.the problem I have looked massive when testing but it's 100ths of a mm and undetectable by the human eye.

Pitch on the way so hopefully get a new lap made this weekend :)

Have the pitch but just haven't had the time to do anything with it!!will hopefully cast the lap tomorrow afternoon then cut the channels before the weekend then be back to polishing.i can now se how people take years to make a mirror!

I'll agree fella as were well into our second year of this! Hope the channels are now cut 

Yeah new lap poured and channels cut hoping to get an hour done before I'm on holiday the end of the week to see if it's polishing well.nice and thick this time :)

Great stuff Rich I look forward to the progress report

Good luck Rich, and with the new table top should be firm going! :)

Just read Daniel K is selling up! Shocked to say the least 

Yeah it is shocking but I can understand people selling up with the weather we seem to have although it's not been bad lately.ive not observed through a scope in well over a year now but hoping that this will be the last year I'm scope less!
