BuzzBusey Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I was working on the ebony plugs for the chair and it just seemed to take forever to get them to a nice polished rounded end. I was using Marc's tip of using the drill, but it still was taking a while. I kept thinking about something else I could use to polish them when it hit me. I have a Work Sharp with 3200 grit on the top wheel sitting on my workbench. I turned that on, and using the drill spinning the ebony against the Work Sharp, it polished them to a nice shine in a fraction of the time. It takes some practice to keep a steady hand, but worth it. Hope that helps someone else. Buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewoodwhisperer Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 haha very cool trick! I don't have a Worksharp but maybe I can get one as a dedicated plug polishing machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_WoodWarden Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I tried your tip out, I just used the buffing pad and polishing compound. It worked great as the final step. I didn't leave the ebony rods in the drill, I just spun them by hand and that worked pretty good and was easier to control. Thanks for the tip!!
