Kaytrim's Kustoms Back in Action
Timoe:
Does Homey D's also sell the polishing compound?
Kaytrim:
I got my polishing compound in the auto dept at the local stuffmart.

Looks like I need a 1 3/16" and 15/16" respectively if I can't find the metric bits. There is a specialty woodworker's shop in town I have been purposefully avoiding so I don't go spend a ton of cash (credit). ;)

The Lee Valley HSS (high speed steel) forstners and saw tooth bits are excellent, probably some of the best out there. Here's the link. The 15/16" is under the forstner section. They don't have a 24mm bit but they do have a 25mm. The 15/16" is probably closer though, so I'd stick with that. As for the 30mm, it's in the saw tooth section at the bottom. Definitely excellent bits and will stand up to a lot of abuse.

I got mine at an auto parts store (NAPA). Home Depot didn't carry it. You need rubbing/cutting compound AND a finishing polish to make it really shine. I went nuts with the finish on my last cab so if you want you can read up on what I did.

Latest WIP... Still rough around the edges but you get the idea. >:D I call this one White Gold.
