Blaine K. was nice enough to send some Lil Indian wheels my direction. 4/6 halves were polished, but he wanted all of them to match. I'm going to show the results of the steel burnish and come back after doing a cob finish. I was supposed to leave tomorrow and now I have until Monday morning to make some magic.
Here are the 2 blasted ones. Blaine points out "real Lil Indians" have the recessed area around the hole.
Here are the 4 polished halves.
Let's see if we can clean hubs too?
I run 2 halves for 2 hours. I was in front of the machine for 6 hours. I could run all 6 at once, but if 2 halves spoon each-other with a pin between them, I'm screwed.
The color is good, but I can't see the reflection like I want to. I got Blaine's o.k. on the cob. It will take at least 24hrs to cob the wheels. I'll edit the post later with some results.
EDIT:
After the cob below.
