A 6" is quite doable for the firsttimer. The thing to remember when doing the grinding is that the glass is flexing a little bit so you need to keep from putting too much force on it and to make sure that the "walk around the barrel" is done at a good pace. Spheres are done by making sure that the strokes are in all directions and no two strokes are the same way for either the tool or the mirror. If you stop by my website http://webu.wigloo.com/bobmay for an article on using plaster tools in the grinding of a mirror.
