The refinishing went well, here is a movie from the neck of the first prototype :

I applied roughly 7 coats of industrial poly urethane and kept flattening it between coats with the Festool random orbital sander. In this movie the body has been sanded up to 3000 grit but not yet polished on the stew mac buffer. My shed is way too moist to put this machine, there is no insulation in there and the machine will be ruined within months. There is no room in the workroom as well. I`m afraid im gonna have to put this giant thing on the wall of my livingroom.
