    Thanks for the tips and especially which attachments you use. There are so many available! But I use the ones you demonstrated so that makes me feel good. Also, I have a foredoom too. I have to say your control is better than mine. I have trouble keeping a steady speed. Sometimes it sounds like I’m driving a race car 😁 Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I love your jewelry pieces and like to see what works for you.

      Yes. Coated wire can’t be buffed. Only bare wire!

    This is great! I only have the 3M fan like but I guess I am missing some buffing wheels. The rock tumbler is from the 80’s when I was a kid. It’s cheap and loud but did the job. So why not?

  • @Elmojomo

    Thanks for sharing your process!
    I've been looking at that same flex shaft, but I read that it's important for certain processes to have reverse, which I don't think that model has. Do you find that you miss not having reverse sometimes, or not really?

    • @ZurickDesigns
      @ZurickDesigns  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I haven’t had the pleasure of working with anything that has a reverse actually 🤔
      That sounds kinda fun!
      I’ve upgraded to the flex shaft from a cordless dremel which was awesome in itself! 💜

    Hiii fabulous vid as usual! One q …. Same tools and process for copper? And I think I got from you that all this is done before you oxidize (if you’re oxidizing)?

    • @ZurickDesigns
      @ZurickDesigns  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes,
      I buff out scratches before oxidation and polish after.

  • @kevinbaldwin2526

    Thanks for showing us your technique... One question: What kind of tumbling media did you use in your tumbler? Did I hear "steel shot" correctly? What is that? Size? Weight?

    • @ZurickDesigns
      @ZurickDesigns  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You did. Steel shot.

    Fantastic video! Thanks for posting this. It really isn’t much out there about the right way to polish wire work so I put this on my favorites list. I have one question that perhaps you can help me with, what is the minimum hardness of a stone that you can put in the Tumbler? I haven’t been able to find that information online. I know you’re not supposed to do with porous stones but just having a basic hardness guide would be great if you can help with that. I love your channel!

    • @ZurickDesigns
      @ZurickDesigns  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks!
      That’s a good question. I think it’s a judgment call. If you think it would be too soft and fragile than it’s not worth it. I think I stick with hardness between 6-8 but still, if you’re having doubts, don’t do it! I don’t tumble my jewelry pieces for very long either I don’t think. Hope that helps 😬

      I have a friend who does a lot more tumbler polishing than I do. Her advice to me was to only put 6 or above on the MOH scale in her tumbler. Hope that’s helpful. 🌺
