I'll shoot you an e-mail as well... Sincerely, Greg Hi Al,

I’m not actually in possession of the 22.5 bit anymore.  I gave it to a
friend.  However, I bought it from a place called Woodcraft so perhaps
that will help you out.  I just went to their site and found it here
(http://www.woodcraft.com/Family/2020478/Freud-Chamfer-Router-Bits-.aspx). 
They’ll probably ship to the UK but I’m not certain.

I’ll shoot you an e-mail as well…

Sincerely,

Greg

We also ground the mirror by hand. See: http://www.anderswallin.net/2009/07/building-a-telescope/ Nice report, I built a wooden tube from about 40 strips last year. We also ground the mirror by hand.
