The last few seconds of polishing and now we get to see the results of our work. Excuse the lack of a tripod.

Halfway through the polishing process. The reflection while in motion tells me a lot about what the material needs to shine.

Like it’s dipped in honey.

My job title should be “polisher”.

Don’t be afraid to modify your tools to suit your needs. Always seek improvement.

This handle is going to be nearly holographic when it’s polished.

Warm colors in a cold shop. Keep moving to drive off the chill.

My polishing have taken another step forward.
.
.
I stopped rushing and lightened my pressure. Taking the time to focus on proper technique understandably improved my result and efficiency. Fewer mistakes need correcting when you think through each step.
.
.
However, the amount of time I spent resting and healing my hands was most troublesome. If I want to keep doing this for years I need my hands to keep working.
.
.
Accuracy doesn’t come from rigidity. Consistency matters much more. Relax and let the tool do its job.

Take care of your lungs.

I’ve been working on a negative pressure tent for turning and it’s finally up and running. I’m very serious about containing wood and leather dust.

It’s a matter of both cleanliness and respiratory health. Wear your respirator even for small jobs. I wear mine even in the tent with the dust collector running.

Machines are on temporary surfaces until I can buy another Frontier bench, but flogger production is gearing up.
