After I retire, I think I'm going to take up mirror polishing.

It's just something I can see myself doing.

There is something very satisfying about the clean and shiny look of a properly polished mirror.

For some reason this made me think of French polishing:

Years ago I saw someone on TV whose official job was French polisher.  He must have had the patience of the biblical Job, but he loved it.

What a reflective post.

I can't see myself doing it.

I told me wife I wanted to do this, but she flipped and told me to keep translating.

Indeed that was my first thought too! Although "mirror grinding" would be a better description. I actually ground a mirror when I was in high school for a reflector telescope.
