Looks like it should work pretty good.

Just a little constructive suggestion. Throw on a little duct tape. Duct tape always classes up any project. I have alway found that the more duct tape you can put on the more impressive your projects will be. Trick is to try and make the tape actually look as if it needed.
Still a pretty nice little buffer you got yourself there !

nice little rig you've got there, but for what it's worth, be careful what you clean, & polish: a coin dealer told me that if you polish a coin, it may become worthless.

hey!thanks norris!
it's not often that i dig anything of great value..but for most coins,quarter mercs wheats,indians,-ect.. they're only a few bucks & they look good shined up & displayed.
thanks for headsup
