I need to make a few hairpin legs from 3/8" stainless steel and they want them polished. No specific RA requirements or anything like that, just needs to be shiny, and pretty reflective. Legs will be approximately 17" tall after they're completed, so the raw bar stock that needs to be polished will be about 34" + a few inches to cut to size, so figure 40" L. What's the fastest way to do this? I don't have a super well equipped machine shop, just a 15x40 lathe, and I don't currently have a working steady rest. I only need to make 4 legs. Any tips on this one?
