Default Re: Polishing tool steel follow up

Thanks... First of all I would like to thank this company (Cindy) for taking care of a small problem with the first order. So I ordered 10 sprial treated wheels and some VHT clear to coat the aluminum handles. The blades are epoxied to the handle and need heat to replace. This might work. I polished some more blades and they look better yet.

OT
The hats are a novelty item that I make for fun. Mine are price less so I give them away. I only know of three people who sell them and they start around $450 then go up to $2,200. Go to www.woodhat.com and see the man who created this idea. They are cut very thin 3/32 (.093) or less and weigh between 5 - 8ozs. They are not that hard to make after you get past a killer learning process... start to finish with NO mistakes.

To make one you start with a fresh cut log at least 18 inches in diameter, chainsaw a 55lb blank then place on a large lathe and turn away all unwanted wood. Bend it to shape, dry it, sand it and finish it.

Can you tell I love turning wood...

When the new wheels come I'll have more questions
Thanks again,
Doug
