dicki i went to halford and bought a dremel kind of thing to polish a stem the thing was so under powered the moment you put it on the metal you are polishing it just quit slowed down to about 10rpm took time but eventually got it done.
i tried looking for black and decker drill attachments polishing wheels etc but they seem hard to come by
a local hardware store might have some alternative answersreal 'dremal' dremals are great, i couldnt be without mine, good for doing engraving as well,
my lady is a jewellery designer, she uses mine all the time to polish stuff up reall good -

asm [quote]htay if we do get hats- smeear could make them.....
excellent idea htay!!
I think this is a really good idea. We should have a secret induction into the society (riding blindfolded down a narrow path while getting smacked by polo bats?)[/quote]
starts sweating
how many would that be!!!!!!!!

cheers fellas, i think when it really starts to cool down i will splash some cash on something merino, maybe silk as well if im feeling sexy.
winston use my head like a heat valve...
dress warm, if you over-heat take your hat off, if you get cold put it back on....it really works.
i totally agree with you, not just because i make hats but because it works very well, you can lose such a high persentange of heat through your head

the detail is fantastic on this thing, i just noticed there is a velcro little beaver tail that attatches the main strap excess to stop it from dangeling about all over the place, but thats not the clever thing, the clever thing is that you can remove the bit it attatches to and put it somewhere else
i realize that makes no sense
and a happy jewish new year
