Hey which model buffer are you using? Beautiful finish there!
Thanks.

Thanks, Harbor Freight

They also sell extra terry cloth bonnets and other accessories.

I do the sides by hand and never go above 3 on the speed.

thanks! Will check it out. I was looking t much more expensive ones that did not spin nearly that slowly.
owe you a drink

Great!...In the 80s I had a single speed grinder that I made a VS with a router speed control. They cost about $20 then. I bought it at Harbor Freight when they were a mail order house with a few stores in California.

Jeremy's bass buffed along with the previous attempt being stripped. As you can see Spring has arrived.

Keyboard died on my desktop, I can post pix but have to add type from my netbook.

This JAEbird is sounding very close to right with Rock Masters on it. Shipping Friday. That reflection is my trailer,about 30 feet away and a tree in my front yard, about 100 feet off

While I was shooting black I deBaCHed my Honeyburst NR headstock and made a more correct trussrod cover for it. Gotta paint those screws black. Will do the same to the white one.

I hope to ship another JAEbird next Friday, have to remix Seafoam for more pop and shoot a body tomorrow. Going for that Billy Shehan Yamaha green.

Lovely finish! Like glass!

How are you getting your finishes to cure so quickly?

I'm following the recommendations of the paint manufacturer. Mohawk specs 36 hours before buffing, I waited 4 days.
