Thanks, boys!
I found a 35 yr. old 3/8" Craytex (1 1/2" long) in my instrument tool box & used that with my drill press...after trying a few other ideas. Used a hybrid of rubbing compound & honing oil.
Took me over an hr. to do that little aluminum & almost that to do the brass plate.
I was careful to not touch while I rinsed them with naptha then hot sudsy water to clean them...not to mar/scratch.
I went online and marveled at the engine turning artisans...unreal beauty.
.
Need to put down the fun stuff now and get a room painted.
