Beautiful! How long did it take you to do that? It had to take some serious time with the dremel.

I have had this one around for awhile, at least 2 years. I would pick it up grind a little till I couldn't stand it anymore or thought I was getting too impatient and it would go back in the pile for months until it called me again. And it would start all over again. At one point I had it polished to 50k and set it aside because I could feel that it just wasn't done. It then sat for at least 3 months before I heard it calling again. Which is where it is now. I feel it is completed now. I would say I have about 4 hours of continuous work on it. I think I could have been done sooner if I had a vib tumbler, I did this all by hand.

AWESOME! I think I am going to have to invest in a flex shaft if I am ever going to have any luck with that stuff! You inspire me with your amazing work! Fran

I started using a dremel tool until I found a good deal on a used Eoredom at a yard sale. I try to do all my cutting on my Genie. I only use the flex shaft as a last resort. It brings me great joy knowing that my post has fostered some inspiration towards this amazing material.
