Wow! I can't imagine that! I had to stop two different times. LOL - I realized I need to NOT wait so long next time, so I don't have so many to do! LOL jasoninsd I took a look at all the other threads of closeups. The only thing I can offer for the LOS is that you need to polish it when you are finished. Everything else looks good- looks even and not too heavy.
Your wraps are fantastic and I have nothing to add there.  Tela, your comment about the wraps means A LOT to me! I really do appreciate that. When you say polish them...I'm assuming you mean in the tumbler with steel shot? I've been thinking about getting a mini-sonic for this purpose. Would that work?
I have only ever used a rotary 3A with stainless steel shot and white pellets. I can't speak to a mini sonic. Yes, you can tumble it. But, you can just wipe it down with a Sunshine cloth, too. I used to tumble all of my pieces. Now, probably a quarter of them. I do it before the LOS, but you can do it afterwards, though.

A Sunshine Cloth sounds way easier! LOL I will add that to my order of needed supplies! You know, this hobby was way cheaper when I was just hounding! LOL |

The metal needs to be very clean going into LOS. Will do. So there's nothing else to be done with these ones already through the LOS? (Sorry for the constant questions.  ) |

(Sorry for the constant questions. ) They can be polished with a cloth or with the tumbler. Tumbling hardens, deburs, helps with nicks and cleans and polishes - though you will still want to use a Sunshine cloth afterwards. Some pieces really benefit from tumbling, esp copper. |
