To contradict a well-known saying , there is such a thing as a free lunch, or at least a valuable half hour video, which I have had bookmarked for a couple of weeks. I wish I could remember who recommended it here so that I could thank them by name.
‘Polishing with Power Tools’, presented by Joe Silvera for Beaducation, will certainly show you the basics of working with a motor, introduce you to the split mandrel for abrasive paper and how to use silicon wheels and radial disks.
It also shows the proper way to support and control a handpiece against a bench peg and how to hold the handpiece in your fist. When I am in a class I despair of the way work is held up in the air, or flat on the bench , so making a ghastly noise, and the handpiece is held between finger and thumb, like a pen.
No wonder some people are scared of motors and never get over it. Thank you, the person who recommended this video. Thank you Joe Silvera and thank you Beaducation.
One reservation though: I would much rather the demonstrator had started with clean hands. No doubt when Mr Silvera gets home for dinner, Mrs Silvera will send him straight to the bathroom. Here is the link: http://www.beaducation.com/vids/detail/159 Dennis
