For a bit better consistency with the "DIY" tool, put a thin layer of lapping compound on the part first. I use 1.5 micron diamond, but the good old "clover" brand you find at auto-parts stores works well too.
Yes it's called jeweling in the firearms world. I like it because it makes a part look finished and beautiful plus I think the very fine abrasion holds oil better to protect areas from surface rust.
Don’t know if you’re asking if I can but if you need to you can just sand down to bear metal and then turn it again. Of course it all depends on if it’s flat or curved and the access you have to it. It’s hard to do it by hand you really need it in a jig with a drill press or mill. But you can rig something up with one of those drill press jigs that you put a normal drill into and it becomes like a drill press just modify the bottom with a magnet or a clamp hope that helps
@@dogboy213 thanks for the fast response! I should have worded that better, sorry. I was asking if it was possible to restore the look after it has faded, I think I have my answer, sand it down and start polishing. Thanks!
Fantastic idea. I now know what my next workshop task is. Thanks for making the video .
Good luck and have funnnnn

Very clever idea, thank very much
Glad you liked it!
Interesting. I have always known it as "jeweling." Learn something new everyday.

@@14goldmedals I like your setup with the grid to follow for the pattern. That seems like something I could really get into. Thanks for the video!
Patriot Painter you’re thanking the wrong guy, you mean Unemployed Prop Guy.

Word dude....aight
В России это называют"мороз",делают с помощью пыли от шлифовального станка.
Can you restore old engine turned metal?
