Thank you for your thoughts. I'll certainly keep them in mind the next time I engage in this activity. Jimmy is now out of the Army, my third son, Tim is deploying to a bad place in Afghanistan shortly.

Best regards,

@glassblower4gvn I'm not quite sure what you are saying here. Could you kindly be a little more clear?

thanks for the video mr o'reilly. I did like all the comments around the tool creating. but you have to improve the labor safety.

having a lit candle in the same room where someone is using an aerosol can containing a flammable liquid that is propelled by propane is asking for a really big boom. I understand keeping the candle lit in honor of Jimmy (Thank You for your service Jimmy!) but you should definitely consider placing the candle in another room, at least temporarily.

@foreilly1958 What videos to follow after this step in process?

Well, that was 3 months ago.... and I did figure it out eventually.

I was a bit frustrated when I made that comment.

There are a few good websites which show you what need doing, but I can't remember them. I'll have another look sometime and PM you the details!

If you get that figured out, will you let me know?

Okay, I watched this whole video.... and I still have no idea how you use that tool to make a telescope mirror.

Guess I'll look that up.
