I like to do a good batch so I don't have to go back to that tool for a while. <br />I don't think you'll be able to resist when you see the wood I'm using for the handles.

I know a professional turner so I'll have to get him to show me what you suggest. Your polishing method sound intriguing, I guess it's the same principal as the sliver polishing machines in hotels. Glad you like the blog, it's really picking up interest which makes the work involved worth while. <br />All the best, David.David Barronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618718370012866597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306427826258479906.post-53057771752701608482012-10-06T16:37:07.243-07:002012-10-06T16:37:07.243-07:00Those hammers look pretty cool, may just have orde...Those hammers look pretty cool, may just have order one of those. David, you have far more patience than me, I had trouble focusing to finish the 10 hammers that I made.<br /><br />RichRichard Wilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00174534486190999877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306427826258479906.post-43414956612539405352012-10-06T16:06:05.249-07:002012-10-06T16:06:05.249-07:00Hi David,

You could make a simple adjustable wooden chuck using a Jubilee clip. With a bit of practice you could form the requisite radius in under a minute (make sure to wear a long-sleeved shirt, brass swarf is like needles from the lathe). You could also polish them en masse using a rotating drum filled with walnut shells & liquid polish, simply let them tumble until the desired shine is achieved.<br />Loving your blog, by the way, especially like the wee Bocote smoothers you made a while ago.<br />Cheers,<br />Black (no one calls me Adrian)Adrian Baird Ba Thanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16775382639945960826noreply@blogger.com
