[@stoneman94emca]

Just came across this redo of your original video and i love it, just a word of advice though about polishing stone (for future reference). Im a stone and monumental mason, have been for over 13 years now and when you polish rough stone like the inside of your sink you need a variable speed grinder preferably with a water trickle through the centre of the rotating shaft. When you start off at the 50 grit you can use a normal grinder but dont put too much pressure on the disc because you will actually burn the stone, thats what that yellow discolouration is. As you move up through the grits you need to slow the disc down as you will burn the disc out instead of working the stone. Took me a long time to work out how that part worked lol love the video and keep it up dude

[@constantout]

The inbetween step is a thing called a: Silicon Carbide Grinding Wheel for Shaping Granite, Marble and you need to use water for the polishing disks!!

[@ATVpassion]

The best pads I have used are CHANGE MOORE Wet Diamond Polishing Pads. @ $40 on Amazon. 50 - 3000 grit. Gives you an almost mirror finish and really brings out the depth and colors in the stone. And yes, use water. I use a spray bottle and mist the stone. Grind until lightly dry. Mist again. You will see the scratches disappear with each successive grit pad until you get to 300. Then 500 - 3000 use very little water and light pressure. The weight of the grinder is enough. I have been using mineral oil to seal the stone and bring out the colors. Not sure if that is the best product to use, but it sure looks nice to start.

I enjoy how you frame the emotional part of the builder in the projects. "excited to start, and even happier to finish.

[@mikedickey4952]

Nice work. They do make a smaller rubber backer for ur grinder so that the Velcro pads can over hang and would Contour the bowl more making the polishing easier. You can find them in a catalog for granite counter tools.

[@akaimon3]

The 1st video I watched was your first stone sunk process while researching a project. Years later I came across your channel when researching Japanese hand planes. Never connected the two until a year ago. You were more humble back in your earlier days ; )

[@Kleinalrik]

Excellent work! I like the self teaching aspect and your trial and error approach.

[@Dwarfracer88]

awesome job, really nice work. A trick I learned with wood that might work with your stone is after you drill the 1/4" hole for the center of the drain use a hole saw blade that is the size of the outside of the drain grate and drill down the depth of the drain grate then swap to the size for the drain pipe and drill through. This will perfectly center the drain grate in the hole and also give you a perfect edge around the grate. Then you can use your grinding technique to remove the material from the hole out to the edge of the shallow groove you made for the grate.

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Nice one Jesse ! Always been curious on how you made the transition between the drain and the sink. Thanks for adding the whole footage in this new sink video.. hand eye coordination it is!

[@brownsnake0400]

Tomy Hovington a larger diamond bit for the flange would have done it faster and more accurately, you do have to spend another 30-40 bucks though. Drill the pilot hole Drill out the flange section Drill the hole for the drain

[@troyfall6573]

I purchased a full set of stone polishing pads from china on ebay for $15 to polish granite remnants into coffee tables. I got great results by purchasing a hitachi variable speed 4" grinder. You must keep the speed down on level 1 or 2 and use water or you will destroy the pads quickly. I was able to polish probably 80 linear feet of granite counter top edge before the pads started slowing down. Look around on ebay for those other stone cutting grinder blades. I was able to get 4" makita discs that would normally be $30 for around $10 apiece.

[@SoldierDemps]

Troy Fall basically the fresh pads give you that little push, once again ive watched this one and his last one it was very shallow but smooth this time it is quite deep bit he hasnt went as smooth compared to the last one but i dont know if it is needed

[@KATO_69]

[@roryhassett9581]

Awesome video!!...as far as a grinding/buffing wheel for your angle grinder...I've always found an "abrasive stone cup grinding wheel" works the best. It won't take too much material, but is abrasive enough to actually remove material and leave a pretty smooth surface.

[@emmitstewart1921]

When grinding and sanding stone, always keep water on it. That reduces the heat produced, makes your tools last longer, keeps down the flying dust, and cuts more efficiently.

[@koalameat9523]

I am a stone polisher and i also use the same polishing pads , a tip use lots of water when polishing with them or heat will build up and ruin the pads , i also use an air driven grinder/polisher with a hose pipe for water to cool it ,when you go up to using the 2000 grit the surface looks like glass nice work by the way .

[@gunterschone8402]

Nice video, Samurei The washing corners looks beautiful. Yes, these are the right stonework tools. You have diamond polishing stones for the angle grinder. Since up to the highest level of the grain, then with stone polish and / or with Ploier fleece and always damp (water droplets give). Then you get a shiny surface, as with mamor.

[@gerardom.2999]

I work in a granite fabricating company. Water helps a lot and gives a much better shine when polishing with pads, and if you're dry polishing make sure the pads are recommended for dry use, or else they will burn out quick and not polish much. Quality pads do make a difference too. After using a rough cup wheel I would suggest using a finer grade cup wheel to remove all the deep scratches, that way you won't have such a hard time with the 50. You can find a granite countertop company that will sell you some quality diamond tools, like core bits that last a very long time, they usually use better quality than ones found in hardware stores. Excellent video though! Very very nice DIY sink!

I told my wife I wanted to make our next sink out of stone after watching the first vid. She cautioned me and said I should start with a soap dish. I didn't listen and 22 hours later we have a very nice sink. As mentioned, water and lower speeds. The cupped diamond wheel grinder is ESSENTIAL!! (if you only have 14hrs to spend).Thanks for the follow up vid!

[@lisacolbert5987]

There’s a company over here , Northwestern , Washington state , that makes all sorts of reeeally nice beeswax products. Of course the sealer he’s using is the go-to stuff , but I used one of their leather care products on a concrete countertop I did and really liked the results . And for lots of reasons , including the way it looked . I’m thinking it would be worth a try . Amazed that this sink only took -5 hours to hog out and ‘polish’ , for the most part . Well done !

[@seriouslyreally5413]

You might try a wet sanding technique with the diamond polishing pads. We bought one from the concrete countertop people that uses a hose connection to continually feed water to the polishing wheel. The cream produced by the stone dust acts like a polishing paste and makes the job go faster and smoother. It worked really well for polishing to expose and polish the fine sand aggregate in our concrete countertops to a smooth glass finish. Should work for stone.

Nice! I would suggest using a 50 and/or 100 grit dot pad after the diamond cup wheel to get all of the scratches out of the bowl. Then proceed to use the 50 resin and up. I do a lot of concrete polishing and I bet that would shine up nicely!

You may be able to smooth out some of the diamond gouges with a blowtorch. It should spall and leave you with a finish based on the materials that make up the stone. I haven't tried this myself, but one of my favourite artists, Andy Goldsworthy, has carved holes in stones that way. Make sure to wear eye protection, I gather the hot chips tend to fly out pretty fast.
