Hello all
   just and update on the 8" F8 I started a couple of weeks ago.  I am
into the polishing now with a little over 3 hours into it.  I have about
1/2" left around the outside that still shows up with the laser.  So
maybe another hour or two at the most.  A friend is bringing over his
tester later in the week to check it out.  See link below for the
construction and grinding log.  I placed some pictures of the lap but the
shots of the mirror were out of focus because it was to reflective for the
auto focus to work on it :-)
