I use a HF wood lathe. Dad already had a couple in the wood/leather shop. I chucked in a 8" piece of 1" oak dowel and grabbed a turning chisel. Made me a few different width cuts in a U shape. Gave it a good sanding and walla a variable speed burnisher was born. If I need to turn something on the lathe, I simply would take the burnisher out and put it back when done. Also, I use water only to do my slicking. Comes out perfect every time and I am VERY picky on my edges!! Total cost to me..... $0

Hey does anyone have any advice on how to put together a canvas burnisher, for use on a drill press?

(links to what's needed / where to buy would be really helpful too! :)

Keith I would still be careful, your using a 3/4HP motor with two unprotected shafts which can cause some serious injury. A simple mistake with the wrong clothing or a slip and ya can find yourself in a bad situation. 

Sure it may seem difficult to hurt yourself on these things but it can still happen. Not as easily as with say a buffing wheel but I personally would give it a little more respect.
