Saved $40 to $50 over what the same stuff would have run locally at Wally World.

I had .032″ and .047″ but nothing in between so took the 50 mile round trip to Gadsden. Did a grocery run to Aldi’s while there.

Went to the (semi)local Hobby Lobby this afternoon after discovering that I needed to replace 13 trundles that were .039″ in diameter.

Looked at Swiss burnishers a few minutes ago and the suckers have gone up to $90. I priced them last year and thought them high at $70. :-(

Thinking that the leather on a stick will work much better. Hoping to get all the tool stuff done and get back to working on clocks soon.

Decided to glue up a leather buffing stick while I was at it. Been just using a strip of leather with compound on it for final polish.

New set of sanding sticks glued up and drying. Using hide glue this time rather than rubber cement as the last ones had high spots.

Not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if the metal it’s made of is just crap. Made in India so may just be crap. The $70+ one is Swiss.

Got the sandpaper and finished the burnisher. And it doesn’t work. :-( Went back to using the sandpaper sticks and polishing compound.

Got to get more 600 grit sandpaper to finish. Next time will not buy the cheapest but will spend the $ & get one not needing this much work.

An hour and a half of honing the clock pivot burnisher and I’m about half way to having all 4 sides flat. Hands are REAL tired.

Not sure what the bundles of sticks on the sides are for but looks to be an interesting low cost truckbed cam… http://t.co/o1rHScsq
