A large monolithic telescope mirror is a significant part of the cost in constructing a telescope and large mirror fabrication requires a year or more. We report on progress in the production of spun-cast epoxy telescope mirrors for use in astronomical telescopes at optical wavelengths. Mirrors produced in this fashion require no polishing and can be completed in a matter of weeks. Several generations of mirrors were produced on equipment of increasing sophistication in diameters up to 0.75 meters. Details of materials, equipment and procedures are outlined.
