I do not recommend leather gloves because they are bulky and that makes it hard to hold on to smaller pieces. I have since switched to these nitrile gloves:

I got some low grade stone grinders and polishers. One flew apart when I slightly tilted it to one side. I spent over an hour trying to grind down a clear quartz crystal stained with orange iron oxide with little result. I'm now waiting for a delivery of diamond coated bits. Thanks to rock hound TH-cam videos I quickly learned my mistake and made the adjustment. I found this bizarre clear quartz crystal with a top that is cube shaped with an arm of a crystal running diagonally across the lower front of the cube. The bizarre parts are: in the front of the cube there is a diamond shaped hole covered by a thin layer of see through clear crystal. And inside the cube there are tiny pieces of crystals you can see and hear when shaken.
The best part is there is a dark red stone partially covered by stain and a slight surface layer of brown stone. It's so unique there can't be another like it it anywhere. Can't wait to fully expose that dark red stone!
I love the rockhound community everyone is always so helpful :) that sounds like a truly unique specimen I'd love to see it! we have a discord group for rocks if you'd like to join you can share pictures/videos of what you're doing! not a busy channel yet but we're building it one cool rockhound at a time 😎
I have a flat lap but still use my dremel and I use the super glue with baking soda to attach it to a screw and I have little wood handles I screw it into. Then when it’s done I I sand off the cement and put the black stuff on the bottom
That's very creative! Does the baking soda prevent the glue from sticking too bad?
@the broadhouse baking soda makes the glue bond better and instantly.
thank you ☺️
What are the wood handles for¿
I like the look of the sanding discs you use, i havent seen those before. I recently started polishing rocks and woild love to know what tools you would recommend
The tools in this video are what I would recommend actually 😄 here's the link for the diamond grinding bits- www.amazon.com/dp/B07S478P4V?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
and for the sanding discs- www.amazon.com/dp/B07PTBH6Q9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Also I always like to remind people that polishing rocks can be really bad for your lungs and overall health if you aren't wearing proper breathing protection. if you want a suggestion on that also just ask ☺️
I love that you're getting into polishing rocks it's been such a fun and rewarding hobby. I've only been doing it for just over a year but I love it so much!
Hi❤ thanks for sharing your creative process! Could you tell me which Dremel series did you use? Looks quite handy!
hi! thank you for this sweet comment 🥰 I use a 200 series dremel
Love it I find rocks that I think I can work with and do the same very cool to see I’m not the only one haha hood work
Thank you Earl! I'm always on the lookout for neat rocks. Great to meet a fellow rock person 😁
How hard are you pressing into the stone?
not too hard or it wears the bit out
Very nice! Can you tell me where you find that yellow attachment tool? Very useful.
I ordered it on Amazon 😚
Hi, I loved your video, perhaps you can tell us the name of the attachment for polishing or maybe post the link from amazon. Thanks
thank you so much!
the sanding discs- 180 Pieces 1 Inch Sanding Disc,... www.amazon.com/dp/B07PTBH6Q9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
the grinding wheels- 20Pcs Diamond Grinding Bits, 10mm... www.amazon.com/dp/B07S478P4V?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Man, how can I find these tools for polishing? It’s diamond, right? I have one u used for grinding, but now looking for a good way to polish the obsidian. Wheels with polishing paste work pretty bad(
yes the drum I use for shaping is a diamond drum here's the Amazon link- www.amazon.com/dp/B07S478P4V?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
and then for polishing I use these- www.amazon.com/dp/B07PTBH6Q9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
i dont use a paste i just wet sand and rinse often. after I go through all the sanding discs, I let it dry and then rub in some mineral oil with jean fabric and let it dry and that's it! they stay shiny 😊
May I ask what speed your dremel is on? Sorry if it’s mentioned somewhere and I missed it
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!
beautiful
Thank you! 😊
Are you only using a little water? Any worry about electrocution?
only using a little water. I dip the stone to rinse it. no I'm not worried about electrocution! I keep my dremel in my right hand and the stone in my left.
Ona a petoskey stone that size, how many discs would you estimate it would take to polish? Petoskeys are pretty soft.
you probably wouldn't use up any of the discs. but at the most, one disc per stage.
Great video just found your channel
thank you 💜
Do you have a link for the dremel you use?
we purchased our's from Home Depot or Lowe's but it's the same price on Amazon- a.co/d/fVLXdE9
Is there a particular Dremel tool you'd recommend?
Dremel brand. Corded series better than battery op

Ty❤❤❤
What gloves do you use?
leather in this video but now I prefer nitrile
What does the mineral oil do?
it gives the stone a shiny/wet look
Hi womit hast du das eingerieben
LG Bernd
hello! I rubbed it with mineral oil
Can you do faceting with just dremel?
I just try for straight sides but I'm sure someone more experienced could do something more intricate! I'm still a beginner
@@thebroadhouse thanks.
@@hotheadsniper no problem!
Everyone has questions cause nothing was explained.
what are your questions? I can answer them 😊
@the broadhouse what bits are you using all the way to polishing point & then what are you using for polishing including the compound? The video is vague & leaves people guessing.
@@jak3589 a diamond drum to shape and sanding discs to polish. starting low and working high. no compound. just mineral oil after it's polished
@@thebroadhouse thank you
you're welcome ☺️
