Does any one here make their own scope?

Wanna make a scope? Or better still, grind a mirror yourself. Or, you have some good tips in making a really useful accessory? This is the place to show what your hands can do...

Hi charlie, sorry to ask u this, arrr..... what is ATM?
Every time i look into the sky, i wonder,
who's eyes am i looking at, staring back at me.
Whose eyes sees a different world, one which i could only imagine.
Whose sky may be blue, red or green, one which his air determines.

Thanks for the link Charlie :D. Our ATM list is quite extensive, so I've not really uploaded them onto the site yet.
