Beautiful!

A Red Eye is still on my wish list!

That is one gorgeous red-eye. Just eye-popping beautiful. I am green!

Beautiful! You did a wonderful job making her shine like a new penny. How fun! Enjoy...

I just love going back and looking at your red eye!!! It is just beautiful!! I'd love to have one, but did they come in portable electric machines? That's what I'd need.

Wowza!!!!! It came out beautiful :) . You mentioned polish. Which polish did you use to make her so pretty? Can't wait to see what your other machine is going to be :thumbup:

Sure, they can be portable. Pictured below is one that I bought off of Craigslist and the woman's husband had made a box for it to sit in. This one is a handcrank but you could do the same thing with a red eye that has a motor.

I have a red eye that will not accept a hand crank - it must have been a treadle - there is a motor on it but the thing the hand crank goes on is not there so the HC goes at an angle and won't hold in place.

Charlee is indeed beautiful!! Good job!
