Thank you! I am sure you enjoy it as I do. Make sure to use those with brass or copper wires, are softer and dont scratch the surface. I have a link in description for a set of various types.
You dont need the lathe, I propose in the video it is better to use rust stabilizer for the small parts. As for the drill press and buffing, a corded hand drill can do the job too. Harder, but can be done. Sarcasm was funny though, thanks for the comment.
@@antonisvidakis Sorry for the sarcasm. I'm too much like my dad everyone says. You did a fantastic job. But with today's internet and my personal time has me going to my PC to buy back my time. Along time ago, I got close to the same results by locking the levers in my vice and hand sanding them with different wet/dry levels. When I got to 800 grit I would spray them with lacquer. It didn't last long but it was something.
@@robertblahnik7685 Nah, I think it was funny I tell you, not everyone has a lathe handy😁. And thanks. Lacquer is a good option, it needs thin and multiple coats to withstand. The problem with that is just the extra work when you have to redo them. These levers were done 10 months ago and still have not polished them in any way, they just went a little less shiny but still look good.
Hi, vero good job. What type of brush are you using for the caps? I have the same model!

Does anyone have a lathe and or a buffing wheel I can barrow this weekend?
