	This is exactly the kind of technique I want to find out about. More specifically, I need to know if polishing compounds are involved and, if so, what to use.

	From your description, it already sounds like I need to start shopping for a bench grinder.

	Perhaps you can put me in contact with one of the restorers?

	Thanks much.
