How many folks have used polishing pads? I think they help a little bit in speeding things up, but not dramatically. I have NEVER seen anything polish out in one hour!!!!!

 But then I polish extremely
efficiently, completing a 6 inch in an hour, a 10 inch in two hours, and
larger work in six hours. For others who struggle with efficient polishing
times, pre-polishing might be a timer saver.


"Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."
