    Glen, you really do good work. I never tire of seeing the things you master restorers can accomplish with an old blade.

    Metal looks great. Mind sharing what sanding / buffing progression you went through?

    Basset:

    I use a low speed buffer (1725 rpm) with Fomax greaseless compounds in 80-120-180-320-400-600 then I switch to a high speed buffer (3450 rpm) with Dico polishing compounds in Emory-Stainless- CrOx- Chrome...

    For pads I use Sisal for 80-120 then switch to Sewn for 180-Emory then Loose for the Stainless - Chrome...
