Only the best mechanics are this creative

Can you actually polish metal perfectly round with a rope?! 🚀⚙️
We have all dealt with the absolute frustration of trying to clean up a rusty, round piece of metal! If you just scrub it by hand with a wire brush or a flat sanding block, you will accidentally create flat spots and completely ruin the precision shape of the cylinder!
To perfectly solve this and save time, professionals use a brilliant old-school machinist trick! In this video, they coat the rusty metal in fluid and wrap a strip of abrasive paper directly around it. Then, they wrap a thick piece of rope over the paper and rapidly pull it back and forth! This incredibly satisfying "shoeshine" motion aggressively spins the sandpaper a full 360 degrees, evenly grinding away the heavy rust to reveal a flawlessly polished, perfectly round metal finish in absolute seconds!
