I don't own all of these anymore. But yes I'll take a updated collection shot today.

Here it is polished up. It has some cracks around the top, it should be fine though. I hope.

Glad to see you won this one. Good price too!
I can't wait to see the completed product.

That barrel hoffritz is awesome.

I just set the knot on this one. It's a 24mm TGN finest XH set at 48mm loft. It's a Simpsons 2

Man that one is awesome! I have that same knot set the same way and for me it's PERFECT.

I need to find a way to afford a buffing wheel. I think I'm jealous.

I paid like $15 for my old time buffer at a local flea market. It works like a charm on plastic not the greatest on metal though.

It's definitely worth looking for one. It's something I'd love to have. That and a lathe someday. Just can't convince SWMBO that I can have one yet.

That black/clear ever-ready is amazing!
