Al, I'm not a pro like ed, and others that know what to do.
but after ht while the oil is still smoking i just wipe it with a rag and sometimes i take a wire brush to it before it dries

Would you say 800 grit , would be high enough for a mirror finish after buffing?
I'm at 800 grit and was wanting to know if i should go higher grit,1000, 1200. 1500,or where do you stop.
thanks vern
anyone use one of these to sand and polish.
does it work as good as it looks?
I'm thinking of getting the air unit.

I have a jig somewhat like that and i take a pencil and run a square line on the belt, a heavy line to make sure it is in the same spot for both sides.
the thing that makes mine different is that i put a shelf on mine between the leather for the blade to sat on so they are the same on...
Under Tutorials of all kinds , i see there is not a tutorial about buffing and polishing from start to finish.
someone needs to make a video on where they stop sanding and start there buffing, showing what they use and when they use it.
how about it e.Swanson or mister Cole or Stacey .

Your picture will need to be about 100 x 75 pic.
you need to load it to photobucket or where ever you store them and then try loading them to your avatar. so you need to browse for it til you come to where ever it is where you stored it.
