Guitar Finishing Techniques: Buffing a Guitar with a Buffing Wheel

This video, from the LEAD with Guitars in STEM project, demonstrates the use of a buffing wheel on guitar bodies after the wet sanding process. The host, Doug Hunt, explains the importance of the buffing process and introduces viewers to the components of the buffing wheel and how it works on the guitar body. He shows the setup process, including cleaning the wheels with a rake and loading the wheels with coarse compound. Finally, the buffing of the guitar itself is shown, with emphasis on techniques and desired finishes. This YouTube video is one of a series on guitar finishing techniques. It runs just over 6 minutes and will be of interest to educators and students of guitar building and repair.
