If you start with 100 or 120 grip garnet, and light touch ,you can get that same shape in a half hour. Then shoeshine method with 220 or 320 paper backed with masking tape 3 hammers wide can make most hammers shine. Total time 45 minutes max. I'm sure your end result is great ,but why not pick up the pace with more abrasion and then take in a movie. Tom Driscoll >
