Finished my Ball polisher

Scottster said:
On mine, I built a top polisher.

I used a 3" diameter clear plastic "trinket" holder (Walmart craft section) and then but (8) 4" dowells and screwed them to the trinket holder.

Initially, I was going to use it to space the balls apart. But after gluing the carpet to the dowells, there wasn't enough room. So instead, I used the spare buffing cover that came with the orbital polisher, and stretched it over the contraption, creating a lid.

I thien put 8 balls in the polisher, put the top on and add 4 balls for weight. It works incredible, and the balls stay in place. They dont rub each other.

The mental picture of this is just not coming through for me. Couldl you post a picture? Thanks. Jim
 
I think he means in a star pattern 3" circle with 8 arms screwed to the outside of the trinket holer ie.. i 3" pipe. he can polish 8 balls at a time. nice idea.
 
It's a pretty simple design

Hi Jim, I will try to get some pics up. I am not too savvy on that type of thing. I have done it before, but it has been awhile I will try and figure it out.
