Is this the Filiform of which I've heard spoken?

I'm still using my little polisher and it's doing a decent job. My larger Makita comes tomorrow. I'm working on the bottom until I get my scaffolding. But I think I'm getting the hang of this. Fortunately, that pitting is only in one area so far, so she will have her beauty marks.

Sounds like you have found the Zen piece. Without it, it's drudgery. And I hope yu have figured out to wear your oldest clothes and cover your head. A simple paper mask is not a bad idea either. Have you long hair? Make sure it is tied up. Get it caught up in a polisher and it will pull the scalp right off your head, or worse.

Long hair or a long beard, trust me.
