How to Polish Rocks With a Dremel (Rotary Tool) or by Hand

This video walks you around my tiny apartment before settling in at my lapidary system on the cheap. I use this for polishing a wide range of Rocks, crystals and gemstones. The total cost to make was $15.00 not including the rotary tool. The next series of videos will be how to use it from start picking the right rough to finish polish and set in bezel with 9 separate parts. This video mainly walks you through my studio and how it's set up. This is unlike my last series that involved a 5 gallon bucket and water. This system is self contained and dry. With ability to use water as needed for final polishing. You can use this simple set up to make just about anything. I've used it for cutting metal for my upcycled spoon handle rings or for engraving glass.
This is part one of my ten part series, each new part will come out as i can get them finished while dealing with a broken back and moving upstate. it may take a few weeks for me to get them all uploaded but ive already got video 2 into editing one day after my back surgery.
