1/24: I am ready to begin polishing the practice bundle. The gap between the wing of the plate and the slider is narrower on the left than on the right as I face the wheel. Therefore, I think I should twist the end to be polished right and the end farthest from the wheel left.

1/25: I finished polishing the practice bundle today. There are a few imperfections still, so I will have to see if the polishing is satisfactory.
I used the reverse setting for the grinding wheel for just about all the time I spent polishing. It looked like it was going to be really good until near the end, when some blotches appeared as I was polishing with copier paper. The blotches were at the borders between fibers. I polished some more and reduced them to little scratches, but they are still visible.
I bumped into the rods sticking out of the heating box this week, so I will have to mention that to Jim sometime when he's around and see if anything needs to be repaired.
