A buffing wheel on a bench grinder will be easier on your hands since you can use both to hold the host. Other than that it looks like you did manage to make a nice shiny spot already.

I use busches aluminum polish, always do it by hand but a wheel would definitely save some time.

I do not, I use a couple microfiber cloths. But in all fairness I only polish my heatsinks that i just lathed. Not sure how much harder it would be to get the oxidation off after a long time. Might have to have a wheel.

There are small hobby lathes that you can begin with.
The problem is that the tooling gets expensive. The minimal tooling that might come with a lathe just won't do enough as you get deeper into building.

I will get one. 2y ago i amputated mine thumb using a skill saw perfect cut it was hanging on skin i placed it back and align it on the bone it healed perfect, Imagine how fast this thing spins :LOL:
Are you saying you never sought medical attention? That seems unlikely as you described it. A thumb holding on just by the skin is unlikely to reattatch by itself after being just being bandaged. Also, what did you do about the hemorrhaging? The thumb is pretty vascular and would bleed profusuley.
