Polished ash ring
« on: August 10, 2013, 12:25:52 PM »
So I have been taking my SS Performer apart last few days in what little spare time I have and I decided it being black and all that it needs some bling!! First up a polished ash ring!


First pics about half way through. Next two finished product.


So that part is done for the weekend going to sand and scuff up the frame and put a primer coat on. Hopefully this happens as I am on call at work. Then next week polish the ash catcher pot and put a couple coats of paint on the frame. Then next weekend hopefully finish the added stainless table extension I have been building and clean the bowl and lid and put it together again. Trying to figure out whether I want to put new weber wheels on it or do something custom not sure yet.

Nice shine! Did you use just sandpaper and 0000 steel wool? Thanks.

No I used my sander at work and went 320, 400, 500, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, lite buffing pad, then the wheel buffer with a cutter wheel and brown/red rouge, then high luster white rouge and finished with clean cloth buffing wheel with jeweler rouge and final clean and shine by hand.
