Done & Done

Mirror class is done for the year, and so is Carl's mirror.
Another good class, with very enthusiastic students.

Grinding

We were a bit shorthanded on instructors this session due to vacations and illness, and failed to capture a couple of new students (Alexa and Brendan) who were hogging out, as well as continuing students (David). Some worked outside, as it was a very nice spring day.

Dave held a lap making clinic in the bunkhouse, and as you can see, several laps were made this morning.

Polishing & Figuring

Most students are polishing and figuring at this point in class, and the crowd in the McGregor Observatory confirms this.
