Nothing as cool as a pocketwatch repair. I just did a little surface grinding job for Willie (Highpower.) He had this planer gauge that had pitting in the surface and he wanted it pretty again. He tried sandpaper on a flat surface (or something similar), but that didn't get enough off. Inspectiing it before I started the finish grind, I found that the sanding had (as expected) worn a little more off the corners than the broader areas. All silky smooth now, though if he needs the factory lapped finish he'll have to find a proper lapping p;ate and some Clover (or other) good lapping compound.
