Very beautiful. Thank you for uploading. What is the stone called?

Hi! I think your pendant motor might be I'll. Needs new brushes, perhaps. It sounds VERY unhealthy. I really recommend a micro-motor if you want to check those out. Inexpensive dental units are available. Love your channel.

Hi, thanks for that! it's a foredom motor. It seems to work fine but I have no reference on what they should sound like! Do you think it is 'slipping'?

It’s like you’re wearing Tigereye nail polish
