you dont have to invest a fortune in buffing equipment if you only have a few projects-- here's a set up I made for getting into nooks and crannies that my big buffing wheels can't do-- dont throw out those old blue jeans-- denim is a sturdy material that will make excellent buffing wheels-- mark and cut circles out of the old jeans-- I use a little shot of spray adhesive in the center of each to hold them together until I set the axel in place-- I use a 1/4 20 carriage bolt and a couple large washers on each side-- screw the nut down as tight as you can then peen the thread behind the nut to keep the nut from rotating loose and from unraveling the pad -- making sure your fabric circles are as concentric as possible gives a better tool-- but if you do have some eccentric swabs you can always cut them back into line-- as always-- any home made thing is the responsibility of the builder to make sure its safe !! ~~ a tip from the Camp Wounded Dog Workshop !!
@Bruce Kuda A fantastic tip and great video. Just one question, when buffing do you wear the jockstrap to stop yourself from squeaking? Regards Jeremy
Great idea. thanks for sharing. I’d be inclined to wear some ear defenders too if you’re going to use the drill for longer than a minute or two. A bench grinder / polisher is normally quiet but a drill is bound to get on your nerves after a while!

yes ear plugs or muffs when doing a lot of polishing with your drill-- I only use it for little nooks and crannys-- I have big buffers for larger jobs !!
