I do not own a buffing wheel, so I will be finishing the stem and bowl by had unfortunately...haha.
I love history and I love making a relic relevant again, so that is why I have decided to go all out on restoring estates.
I will look at the threads you posted for tips for sure! I am a isopropyl guy myself. Cheaper and I have taken enough organic chemistry classes to know that once it is fully evaporated there are no negative effects whatsoever regarding toxins.
I will be posting pictures for sure, but like I have already stated, I like some patina and character in everything I own, so don't expect perfection community! haha
