Firstly welcome and congrats...

FWIW:
I've done it... and I'm hopeless, I can't claim to do any of those other things you can.

It takes next to zero skill to do it, but does take a fair amount of practice to do it well,
It does take ton of time, patience and lots of cleaning. It is quite a messy process.

Believe it or NOT, I found Brushed harder to do right, than polished... YMMV

To achieve a high end brushed finish, where lines seamlessly merge, and where you can't obviously see where the brush strokes start or stop, requires a fair bit of practice though. As does brushing a curved body without having the strokes wander and wave around. That is where the skill is.... in doing it well!


In short is it beyond you? Probably NOT.
