Members Ellen Posted February 2, 2011 Author Members Report Posted February 2, 2011 Bruce, thank you so much! I'll try your method and will forget about Tandy-like edgers. Thank you all, very helpful! I found these polishing compounds, in both fine woodworking store and jewelry supply store. The last has much wider choice at comparable prices. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in general: - the bobbing (tan) compound is the coarsest, - next is grey, more dry, - next is brown Tripoli, for removing scratches, - then white diamond compound, also dry, less coarse, - green is polishing chrome oxide compound, particle size 0.5 micron. They also have hard and rock hard felt bobs. Woodworking store has 3M micron abrasive sheets, and recommend them for sharpening the insides of gauges. We'll see. I wonder, what else one have to learn for leatherworking Quote
