I made a 1x1 rectangular frame from pine and screwed it to the inside of the shell using the shell mounting holes.This supported the shell and provided a good way to hold on to and control the shell on the wheel.Things went well until I got to comfortable with what I was doing and caught the edge in the opening at the upper left middle area.The shell was ripped out of my hands and dented on the top left middle edge.After thanking God that I still had my arm I went to work on the dent and several hours later had it worked out to the point it was not noticeable,(I got lucky).With a very healthy repect for that buffer I did achieve good results after many hours of work.Do not use a buffer while tired or if you can not focus your attention 100% on the job at hand.
