Hey everyone, I've been researching for some time now, and I can' find anything about how the actual lens blanks for prescription eyeglass lenses are made, I've looked on websites like this: http://glassescrafter.com/information/how-prescription-glasses-are-made.html but it only explains how the blank is used rather than manufactured... Are they mass produced and if so what machines and machining processes are used? I can't seem to find the information I need for the glasses frames themselves either. I need to know what machines are used for those too. Could anyone provide links please? Thanks in advance!

I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
