ATM atm newbie - where to get glass?
HI all -
I've been looking online for a while, and I must be missing
something, because I can only find one supplier of just plain old
glass blanks. I can find plenty of mirrors, but I want to grind my
own.
I tried asking Newport Glass for a catalog, since they seem to have
plenty of selection listed on their website, but no prices. They
said they were going to mail a catalog with prices to me, but that
was a week and a half ago, and I'm not holding my breath any longer.
I'm just looking for reliable places online where a person can place
an order for a smallish (under 14") glass blank and expect delivery
in a reasonable amount of time. I've got Richard Berry's "Build your
own telescope", which lists a few places, but 3 have no website, and
I'm calling Willmen-Bell tomorrow to order their hardcopy catalog.
Can anyone recommend anyplace else that they've had good experiences
with (and which has an operating website) ?
Thanks mucho !!
