    the funniest part was just like usual, soon as the storm let up for just a second the sun came right out and set the humidity in motion

    Quick overview of metal finishing (chroming)

    This won't help anyone learn anything I am merely posting it for the curious. These are some recent photos I took of my dad's work where he chromed up all my parts for a few projects. I will link to a video of him actually buffing an axe head that has been copper plated and being polished before...
