#polishing

Today’s update: working through the details on the shirt, pants, and the choker. The little things define the character’s look.

I truly want to live off my art. Thank you for supporting the process!

Rub and rub,

Scrub away,

Make it shine as bright as day,

Polish all the dirt till it's gone,

What do you mean?

The colour is wrong.

Metals oxidise over time

So we polish to keep the shine,

To keep the silver looking so

And other metals gleaming too.

Rub and rub at the forks,

Scrub away at metal vases,

Polish all the things around

A good maker story is not just about a clever build. It is about what the project teaches, what problem it solves and what curious readers can borrow for their own experiments. Maker projects matter because they show technology at work with the cover removed: parts, constraints, mistakes, trade-offs and the small decisions that make an idea real. (more…)

Wool Felt Buffing Wheels for Smooth Surface Finishing

Wool felt polishing pads designed for angle grinders, built for different stages of surface finishing.

The standard version uses dense wool fibers for removing fine scratches and oxidation layers, while the 27-flap 4.5" version offers a more controlled polishing contact for smoother finishing work.

Works across multiple materials such as metal, stone, glass, wood, and automotive surfaces. The reinforced backing helps maintain stability during high-speed rotation.
