Completely new to this astronomy business, about halfway through building my first telescope. Has anyone tried to make their own mirror and if so have you any practical advice about sourcing blanks and grits for grinding and polishing and advice for testing it?

Hi Larko,
Good to hear someone is trying to prepare a mirror. We have two experts in mirror grinding in the Association and if you are able to come along to the first meeting on 21st Sept. I'll introduce you to them. I've no doubt they will be able to help you. One of them even made a mechanical contraption for assisting in the grinding process. I'll send you a message via this forum with some more detail.
Regards
Pook
