Re: [ATM] Glass Table Tops

[vorblesnak@peak.org]

I am working on a slumped 16", 1/4" plate glass right now.  I got the
blank from my mirror grinding teacher.  Smoothed with 220 / 320 / 500 / 12
micron and then polish.  It is polishing well, bit of a hump in the
middle; but all of my mirrors seem to go that way.  I will see if I can
figure out how to post some pics if anyone is interested.
