Just curious: What will you do with the bronze after you have run it through the machine? (Because it looks great to me in the "before" stage!)

I have often cleaned bronze hardware on a jeweler's rouge wheel before re-bedding it. I never tried to coat anything to keep it shiny though. I don't think you can succeed. You may find that you get a more even patina though by tumbling stuff before putting it back on the boat.
