looks great roy shines up a treat when i used to make aluminium bull bars we used ands held big die grinding like tools that ran off air they had a great big air compressor providing 150 psi of air to the entire factory but anyway probably not what you need as you wouldnt be able to hold it still enough to work it on that finer finish
Fantastic job mind blowing you are a true artist . I built a long shaft buffer from 1 1/4 pillow block bearings ,shaft with step pulley on the motor gives more room to work. I also used 1/4 electric die grinder as some of the parts of aluminum cases where very odd shapes the home made buffer made a huge difference. Thank you and God bless 📖✝
you can get air or electric powered hand buffers, they are used in the panel beating trade to buff/shine clear coat, you can use cutting compounds with them also. Roy this is just some food for thought, you can look into it and see what you think of this idea?
That bowl looks really beautifull!! I can't wait for that tong video, they are so handy and i could really use a good toturial on how to forge them properly👍👍
Think you'll ever switch to a full face respirator? It should add a little more protection for your face since there would be no gaps between the respirator and your safety glasses. I personally have been wanting to switch to one for a while now because I am tired of getting crud in my eyes when grinding dust bounces off my respirator, under my glasses and into my eyes.
Those basins are gorgeous! Nice work! Love the copper. Do you do any finishes, maybe you’ve shown them before and I forgot, but that have some contrast, like an old English look?
Before adding lacquer, I was cleaning a copper weaved bracelet. To make sure it was bone dry I placed it in a small toaster oven. When I pulled it out it had turned a goldish tint. I did not pay any attention to the time or temperature. I have yet to duplicate it. I was told it was “heat patina” to me. Any help on this technique?
For some reason after your comment about looking like a meth cook, I was expecting you to say "saftey is one of those important things........ especially when you're cooking meth"... lol. If I were you I would get buffer pad for your angle grinder to get into those spots until you get a dedicated buffer tool. Some of the good hand held ones are very similar to angle grinders. Keep up the great stuff! Define Your Legacy!
Speaking of not spending the customers money. What do you require to start a project? I am asking 50% down and some act like I asked for their child for a down payment.
That’s a great big bowl and it’s beautiful! Roy you truly are an artist.
+William Timmons thank you sir! You are too kind :-)
Great work Roy, awesome copper polishing work.

I was thinking a 9" wheel for a large angle grinder.
I've finally seen the Michelin Man (also called Bibendum (thanks Google & Wikipedia)) dancing!
That is a gorgeous baptismal font. Did you video the making of it?

Idk if it will work but try a hand held buffer. Mybe mybe not idk but an idea.
Beautiful work, good job with the safety part too. It's true though, you do look a bit like Walter White in the hazmat outfit. :)
Look awesome Roy 😎👍
