Galileo's lathes by Allan Adler
According to Dava Sobel's book, Galileo's Daughter, Galileo used some kind of lathe to make his lenses. What kind of lathe would that have been and what is the modern equivalent? Ignorantly, Allan...

oxy-acetylene torch by Allan Adler
Since glassblowing is on topic here, especially if one doesn't necessarily mean scientific glassblowing, I have a question about preparing for that activity. There are no glassblowing courses I can take but there is an art course on welding that, among other things, would teach me how to...

minimal workspace for grinding lenses by Allan Adler
What is the minimal workspace one needs to grind telescope lenses? I have some idea of the process as a result of reading Strong's book, Procedures of Experimental Physics, a couple of decades ago. On the other hand, someone contemplating grinding lenses in a small apartment has to find a way to...

drafting for glass work by Allan Adler
I have some books on drafting, e.g. Technical Drawing by Giesecke, Mitchell and Spencer. They seem to be primarily oriented towards metal work, with some attention given to woodworking and less to building construction, landscaping and airplane design. On pp.491-496, the book I mentioned above has...

grinding glass perfectly flat by Allan Adler
I've only seen the skill of grinding glass discussed in the context of grinding lenses. In particular, the glass is supposed to acquire a curved surface as a result of one's efforts. What if you want to grind a piece of glass so that it is instead perfectly flat? Does this involve essentially...

commercial manufacture of lenses and mirrors by Allan Adler
I tried posting this on sci.astro and got no replies. Maybe this is a better place to ask. Books on amateur telescope making emphasize that machining lenses and mirrors is prone to produce astigmatism, whereas hand grinding lenses and mirrors tends to randomize errors and thereby avoid...
