killing some more slow time at work this morning with a few I've been working on lately with the dremel. all have some touch up work that needs done before ready for lot o. first up are a couple unknown material. one still has smell fracture at top that need to grind out.   Next is Pietersite- fairly spendy slab and not the smartest financial decision I've made considering I'm taking a dremel to it. but have been wanting to work with some for while. still have few cabs left to get out of the slab.   last two are Imperial Jasper- I really am loving working with this material. the pattern changes quite a bit when grinding which makes it fun trying to guess what the end result will be.   thanks for looking! |

They were flats with drilled holes and they still came out very nice. |

Killing it as usual, sir, they're all very nice!
I've had some stuff that I've been reluctant to sacrifice to the dremel, too...but I for one am glad you decided to work the Pietersite. It's been on my radar for a while, one of these days I'm going to give it a shot.

I figure the only way il find out is to try it out. and honestly most of the material I've been most reluctant to work with have been a joy to dremel on. |
