Very impressive. You do beautiful work.
Care to share techniques and products (besides ultrasonic)? I'm guessing that a tumbler wouldn't be good for the hand wheel and that looks really nice and shiny (along with the other metal bits).
Also I noticed the bumper on the back. My 15 fiddle base didn't have one. Could you give me the measurements (even approximate) of the wood and rubber piece??? I'm thinking that for the top rubber that maybe something like this would work
