Those turned out pretty nice! They should polish up real good. Do you have a buffer, or are ou doing it by hand? I'll have to post some pictures of the buffer that I made.

They look great Jadecy, you appear to have had a very productive weekend... ;D

They look really great, you don't hang about do you!, BTW I'm hoping to get the bases done for next week as I'm a bit snowed under with other work and stuff, so I can't get in the shop for a few days still.

Polishing is taking a little longer than expected. I have them all sanded smooth and would like to go over them again with something like 1500 or finer before buffing. I'm going to be slightly delayed due to a family items.

My 92 year old grandmother passed this week. I may find some time to polish early next week. Spending time in the shop is therapeutic for me.

Sorry for your loss Jadecy .

Dont rush , family comes first we all understand that.

Jadecy Sorry to hear about your Grandmother.

It's ALWAYS family FIRST in every aspect of life.
I do understand how shop time is therapeutic!

Thanks for all your thoughts.

I finished polishing them tonight. They are done! This is the first time I've used a buffing wheel so they are not perfect but I think they came out real nice. I chased all the threads and checked all the holes. They should be good to go.

Nice job!!!!!!!!!!!!...they look great.
