I found 2 videos on the YouTube ATM group
http://youtube.com/group/telescopemaking
that appear to match your description.  They are:
Polishing of a 6" amateur telescope mirror at
http://youtube.com/watch?v=pLMfa3KhmH4
and
Desbaste Fino do Espelho do Telescópio at
http://youtube.com/watch?v=R1Ux0e7k_KI

I don't remember which one it was, I was just surfing when it caught my eye.

Texereau describes... <snipped>

I was (still am if I get going again) using Richard Berry's BUILD YOUR OWN
TELESCOPE. Maybe in my inexperienced zeal to get started I miss read it.


About the video that you watched; the "simulated" walk around the barrel has
a problem... <snipped>

I just assumed he (or she) turned the mirror more than the tool i.e. a2>a1
but I see what you're getting at.

Anyway thanks for the reply and confirming that either method is OK.

Neil
