Glass has to be ground. The grinder is expensive because it is a precision machine. You can buy magnifying glasses very cheaply, so there is no reason for you to try to grind your own.
Mirrors for astronomical telescopes are often made by hand. That is not a hard process but you have to have a room for the purpose, and it takes some time. Even then it is cheaper and easier to buy one already made.

A convex lens is used as a magnifying glass. This type of lens converges light rays to a focal point, creating a magnified image of small objects when placed close to the eye.

Magnifing glass, microscope, scanning electron microscope, eye Loupe, electronic magnifier and on a grander scale a telescope.
Magnifing glass does nothing to the objects but they prepare images of objects that are larzer than objects. U can take example of distorting mirror when mirror produce image it dont do any distortion to the objects but the image produced is distorted
