Great video Joel! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. This information will be very helpful for me. There's a few things that I need to get to help me polishing at the bench. Thanks again!
Thank you so much, and happy birthday (soon). One Comment - so many example vids on the internet for aspiring jewelers demonstrate with big items/rings/settings/etc. Most of my customers want petite rings, any hints for when working with smaller items? Thanks again.
Yes, I absolutely hate Red Rouge! I avoid it as much as possible ..good to hear about your alternative compounds…we use a few different things where I work…where I spend about 80% of my time at the bench, prepping cad cast custom rings for our stone setters. We have our standard methods but I’m always looking for other possibilities! Thanks for your excellent videos!
Also... agree on the ultrasonic bath. Some folks don't appreciate how important it is... takes polish residue right off. Also, a good commercial bath cleaner is recommend. I've eeen comments 'just Dawn soap and water" - That doesn't do the job.
How does the sanding paper works? the more the grit the smoother it is? And what grits of sanding paper would you recommend? Also which 3D printer did you use to print this ring and what resin/wax?
I will get a parts list up Wen when Im back at the shop sorry for the delay

If I get the chance I will. When the shop is full its hard to film.

Great session and lots of tips. Not too long at all.
BTW - what is the blue polishing compound you use? Luxor Blur?

Picasa blue I ned to do a list

2m micro-abrasive sanding film. The higher the grit number the finer.www.stuller.com/products/10-11017/?groupId=190776&recommendationSource=SiteSearch
What the hell is a feeder screw? You called it that twice?
this is a weird question but where can i get that desk lol
What RPM do you work at when at the final 2 polishing stages?
I really don't know. This is not that precise. I would say it mid-speed on my flex shaft but tend toward slower.
What is the blue compound called? Thank you!
Picassa blue
is it not correct that one should wear a mask when using mizi and cretex wheels because of silica dust?
Its not a bad idea but they are too heavy to get airborne.
So many brands have similar, but not identical color codes. What grit do your silicone wheels start at, please?
