Shine em if yer find them !
« on: March 10, 2011, 10:19 PM »
Right can't afford new/nos DC tech III's with the price's they are at the mo - so i'm having to restore my old sets

find a old tech 3



de-anno it with a bit of oven pride



smooth out the rough edges and bits with a polishing mop/bench grinder
polish off with peek for a sweet smooth finish



the blue peter shot - before - mid - after all in one



now start on the rest




i also had a go at a donut clamp

before



after



altogether



didn't cost much to do a bit of hard work -i'm chuffed the end results  >:D


cheers B  ;)

I used to spend hours at work with the polishing wheel, polishing anything that needed it. Its a great way to pass the day, especially when you get good results like yours!!
