The Foucault Tester my dad and I built for testing a telescope primary mirror. It took a whole day of work, 2 minds definitely work better than one. The first test of my mirror revealed "dog biscuit"... It appears my pitch lap is too hard and I need to pour a new lap with softer pitch to fix the problem, thanks to Francis O'Reilly for the diagnosis... videos of the test coming soon...

Carlos, Very nice job. You might want to contact Joe Rowley to buy a Ronchi screen from him. They are mounted in a photographic slide carrier and will be an excellent addition to your tester. Keep up the good work.
