There ya go! And Sherri can run it on her solar panel, huh? <<grin>>
Now ya got me thinking: Why couldn't you make a polishing drum witha 1/2"
spindle on one end and a ball-bearing mounted handle on the other,sort of like a
large rolling pin? Put the fixed spindle in the chuck of a 1/2" airdrill motor
(about $60.00 or so from Harbor Freight et. al.) and hold the drillmotor and the
other handle and have at it?
Details: how large diameter to make the drum, how to make the polishingpad, how
to fasten the pad to the drum??? They make inflateable drums for sanding,can you
get polishing sleeves in the appropiate sizes?
A good 5 HP compressor will run a 1/2" drill motor, and I have one ofthose...
