HA HA just bugging ya Robin,



Took me about 2 hours went from 220 - 320 - 400 - 600 grit sand papers wet and dry sanding, and a whole hell of a lot of elbow grease.

Dan
P.S. it really looks better in person

Dan, the only bad thing is...in about 2 months, you have to do the final polishing all over again...and again...and again.

HHAHAHAAHAHAHA

love the name of the post Dan  :wink:

that actually looks really nice man! And you can always enjoy it more when you do all the work yourself instead of dropping it off somewhere and paying like $50 to get it dipped  :D

good job!  :thumbs:
