I love your videos. If youtube ever takes you down, please post your content somewhere. I started watching yesterday, and I had to force myself to go to sleep. Great stuff.

I used to manufacture dental prosthetics for years. I found two things you could try that might make your polishing much faster. One a tightly woven muslin or rag wheel and wet flour pumice. It should bring out the waviness really fast. The other technique was a Leather wheel that looked alot like a rag wheel but made out of chamois. Also polishing the cylinder on a jig or lathe will stop any patterning you get in your polishing efforts. Not trying to be a know it all just polished dental prosthetics for over 20 years. You might even like the abbot robinson lathe brushes they are incredible!

Real informative, educational and cool video. Now, saying that, I was taught by Jerry Miculek that you do NOT pry the side plate off of a S&W revolver
