UPcycled edwardian brass tray

OOOOooooh this project was soooo much fun to create! I can't even explain it to you! The whole thing, from start to finish. pure joy, but in the back of my mind,.. a tiny voice of the man I bought it from saying "Yes, this one belonged to my aunt! I think it's from Edwardian era, you could polish it up really nicely!" and I said: "Don't you worry! I will give this tray a new lease of life!" and I really hope that I did it justice too. So! I posted pictures and a process video on my Facebook page and I'm getting many questions about products used to create it and steps too! so here they are below!
