Default Re: Polishing tight corners. New guy.

Man... I'll tell yah... polishing things with tight corners is a great place to start, because it MUST be the hardest. I've gotten pretty far with this piece, but have a feeling it's going to drive me crazy along the way. lol Here's a before and "during" shot. I found some cratex cone shaped abrasives for my dremel, and shaved a couple of them down on a belt sander to get into the tight areas. It helped a LOT! Other than that, just sanded with 400,600,800, 1000 in very small increments so NOT to pull the hair from my shaved head. I had to jump the gun a little and hit it with some black emery just to make sure it was gonna shine (noobism).
