no but we might in the future

lol yeah we have lots of grits

😂🙏

hello thank you! I have a water bucket off-screen I dip the rocks in

@@thebroadhouse ok thank you so much!!

@@adilakshmi777 anytime :) 💜

probably about 4 hours worth of work

it does kinda 🥰

it's a variable speed polisher/sander and we got it from Harbor Freight here's the link- www.harborfreight.com/10-amp-7-in-variable-speed-rotary-polishersander-70589.html we had to purchase a different backer pad to accommodate the diamond polishing pads we got on Amazon. here's the link for those- www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2DHFJ7J?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

always on low speed! anytime I try to go on high it wears my bits down too fast. I didn't mention it in the video, but that's something I should start mentioning going forward. sorry about that!

around 4 hours of work

​@@thebroadhouseawesome! What speed do you use?

@sB-wt7jy always low. anytime I try on high it wears my bits down too fast

Thank you so much! I wear a half-face respirator, but an N95 mask would work as well.

you think so?! I got it from the mountains in Colorado. I thought it was gneiss

this video we recently posted has links for the tools we use on the Dremel in the description and the video shows how we use them! I didn't find this piece of moss agate, I wish I did. I had to buy it.

in the description for this video - czcams.com/video/sqqop2EaPco/video.html there's links for the tools we use and the video itself shows how we use them. unfortunately I haven't been lucky enough to find something this nice, I had to purchase the moss agate.

ooh that's interesting! come back here if you remember and let me know how it went. I'm going to link a recent video of ours it has links in the description for the bits and the video shows how we use them czcams.com/video/sqqop2EaPco/video.htmlsi=nRWnfBvHyzSEJkHO

I do! czcams.com/video/sqqop2EaPco/video.html

@@thebroadhouse my hero! 😂

we don't

thank you!!

ruby zoisite will do beautifully! I have some I want to polish but the pieces I have are too small. it's good to know they don't tumble well! thanks for that information! ☺️💜

@thebroadhouse they tumble well they just won't polish I tried dry polishing in the rotary tumbler with tin oxide as well as with water just would not polish. I think using the dremel will work following your instructions 😊 thanks so much!

@michellebelding2325 you're far more knowledgeable about tumbling than me. I have a couple, just nowhere to set them up currently. well I wish you the best of luck with your ruby zoisite and I hope to see you around again :) if you ever make any videos of your rocks tag us we'd love to see! 💜

@thebroadhouse I subscribed to your channel I love what I've seen..thanks again🩷

@@michellebelding2325 thank you!!! 💞

thank you! there's links for the tools in the description of this video- czcams.com/video/sqqop2EaPco/video.html

No I haven't ever done that before! That's a good idea though!! Thank you 💜

Amber is soft like calcite! You should have no problem polishing amber with this method.

It takes a few hours depending on the size and hardness. This calcite took about 3-4 hours whereas a piece of jasper I'm currently working on has that much time in it and I'm still not done shaping.

Many thanks ​@@thebroadhouse

Hello! thank you! ☺️ it's a tabletop wet saw. here's the link for it! - www.harborfreight.com/48-amp-7-in-table-top-wet-cut-tile-saw-69231.html

yes we'll do that in our next video. we're working on it now! it will be a piece of banded calcite

thank you! For something soft like fluorite, it takes about 3 hours.

Yes this is a handheld but it's mounted to a table. Definitely would never use a belt sander like this 😦 glad you healed up!!

it's epidote with red piemontite

thanks! that makes sense

​@@thebroadhouseYou're welcome, fren
