Rusty Old Hand Made Knife Restoration....WITH CHEAP HARBOR FREIGHT TOOLS!!!

What happens here

Before buffing the knife, apply polishing compound directly to the rotating buffing wheels. Use the soft polishing compound on the soft wheel and the hard polishing compound on the hard wheel. The buffing process will generate dust from the compound and the buffing wheel itself, so be prepared for a messy workspace.

Goal: Load the buffing wheels with polishing compound for effective polishing.
