Shiny Machines

I have finally got round to building my little desk that my polishing motor will be bolted to. Tada!

Now I just need to drill some big holes in it to bolt it down.  I wasn't going to bother, until I pushed a piece of metal too hard on one of the wheels, and the whole machine shifted 45 degrees whilst spinning very, very fast.  This is definitely not a good thing!

I also got an unexpected bonus from work, which made all the times they've made me cry this year almost worth it!

So I've also treated myself to this little beauty:

It's an ultrasonic cleaning machine, which means that I no longer have to spend hours (and create much mess in the bathroom) scrubbing polishing compound off of small shiny things with a toothbrush, yay!
