Hi,
No I do not build for others. This is strictly my hobby. Perhaps when I retire I will be able to make telescopes commercially, but for now, it is my recreation.
Thank you for asking.
Best regards for the holiday season,

you can market these to machinists for calibrating micrometers and checking surfaces

Thank you for your comment
Yes, I could market the flats, but when your hobby becomes your job, you no longer have a hobby.

how accurate are your optical flats ??
graffitiballz 2 years ago
We'll see when i am done. I am trying for perfection. That means that there are no discernable errors with the equipment that I use. I am awaiting a Low Pressure Sodium Ballast to complete my interferometer so that I can check further.
Best regards,

Does your cat interfere in your optical shop :-)

Unfortunately, the cat went outside one day some months ago and has not returned. She did interfere, but it was not a burden.
