    Good results. I still perfer sand by hand, kind of more intimate, more contol, usualy less oppses and uh-ohs. But seeing how shiney i comes out i may just need to put mr.dremel to the test on a restore... just maybe not on an epic blade on the first go at it. Thanks for the play by play and pics to match!

    I was staying away from it too but I got a razor that needed a lot more than I have in years to do it by hand. Seemed like a step up in work per hours and a way to the big toys I hope to be using soon. Mine is corded and I have the remote stylus thingy. More control and as you say intimate. I had a few oops but if you plan for that while working it doesn't hurt or do much at all. Tape areas you might hit by accident and always be aware of what it can catch on and launch.

    It is a task to do carefully. If you're not it can grab the blade right out of your hand. Experience has shown me to start on a 'caste away' that you won't be missing if anything happens.

    i tried this once but ended up with a very wavy shine on the blade so i figured best stick with my hand. but after your demo i may give it another go. thanks for the post.

    Thanks for the post! Been thinking about trying this for a while and think I will give it a shot on a pawn shop special to see how it goes.

    Nice job Bart, just make sure you keep your glasses on when working that Dremel. Don't get in a hurry & forget them.
