    I liked the article but just want to add my input on a few things. First, speaking from experience, I think kerosine works better than water. Its not something you're going to want to be using in the house because of fumes. Do it in the garage or something. Second, he said to change directions at 90 degree angles everytime you change grit. You'll be there forever doing it that way. When stepping up to a higher grit I like to change directions gradually. First at a 20 degree angle. Then using the same grit, I'll cross at a 45 degree angle. It'll work quicker. Theres a reason for it, believe it or not, but you're just going to have to trust me.

    I won't say the guy is wrong. Everyone has their own way of doing it. I just thought I'd tell you how I do it.

    Looks cool, but won't those little boxes get HOT? Not much room for cooling in there that I can see.

    Yeah, that's one of the disadvantages of those little cases... but they look very nice, especially all shined up like that one...

    And it DOES seem to resemble a toaster... LOL
