    Thanks Ken. It took me longer to clean up the pattern than it did for LHR to fix my machine. I need a lot of practice at it.

    Yep, I'm still looking for the magic bullet for cleaning up detail.

    Nice clock Lolyd, I know what you mean about cleaning up that detail. Those two IH head clock were terrible in the mahogany. Seems like everytime I got it cleaned up without sanding to much of the detail away those fibers popped right back up again between stainings.

    I used some of those fine pads, watch maker file and finger nail boards cut to different angles for the fine groves and slots.

    I use the cordless Dremel tool for clean up and it works great. I have an assortment of bits that I use to clean up anything I do. I also use the 3M wheels on the Dremel tool to remove fuzzies.
