Hi Gang,

    A 'home brew' buff rake isn't hard to make. All you need is a piece
    of wood & a few brads. 

    Using a piece of wood that's comfortable to hold, drive some 3/4- 1"
    long brads into the board. Leave about 3/8 - 1/2" of the brad
    protrude from the wood. Place them in a row about 1/2" apart. Make 3
    or 4 more rows, offsetting each row so that the nails in it fall in
    the center of the gap of the preceding row. 

    Since this is a 'home brew' operation, the dimensions aren't that
    critical, modify them to suit what's available. Remember to keep
    safety in mind, you don't want a bunch of brads flying around your
    shop. Their bite is worse than a mosquito's. 

Dave
