I took on a design way beyond my skill level just to see how I would fare. I didn’t leave quite enough material for my crown so please ignore the small divot in the center of the table, as well as the occasional missed meetpoint. Learning experiences abound!
While taking my video I notice my table polish has an annoying streak across it at just the exact right angle of light. I polished the hell out of that table using my BATT lap and 60k Pandimonium - so how did I accidentally create this streaking? Did the lap need more lubricant maybe? Or not enough 60k? Or too much…? Argh!

Arrrg my fat girdle habit strikes again! I definitely do regret not cutting it farther down. I’m going to give the spray bottle a try, I’ve got a lovely misting bottle that will probably work wonders for the job.
I agree with you the light return on it is lovely, I really dig the cut. I’ll keep practicing it and hopefully improve my technique.
“Fat girdle habit” is a great name for a band
A rock band! 🤣
