So, I think I've been bitten... Looking to get into restoration on a college budget won't work now, but I'm the kind of guy to start poking around for info before I can do something, partially so I don't go buy something stupid, and so I can't rush in; gotta use my wallet hindrance to an advantage right? From what I've been reading in the forums and the library, here are my thoughts. Norton 220/1k &4/8K and a PHIG finisher for stones, and a whole slew of 3m wet/dry paper for rust removal and the like. Am I on the right track here? I'm fairly sure a natural finisher would blow a PHIG out of the water, but cash and stuff haha... Also are are there any of the natural finishers that have some forgiveness to less than perfect technique? Because I know me, I'll get distracted like a gibbon and slide an x stroke the wrong way or something... Just a little background info, I have always loved Russian things, be it art, firearms, razors, etc. The raw utilitarian nature has a sort of intrinsic beauty to me, and I would be thrilled if I could bring a dilapidated vostok or the like back to life. Thanks in advance for you guys!
