I have a flat lap but still use my dremel and I use the super glue with baking soda to attach it to a screw and I have little wood handles I screw it into. Then when it’s done I I sand off the cement and put the black stuff on the bottom

[@thebroadhouse]

That's very creative! Does the baking soda prevent the glue from sticking too bad?

[@sheaholmer8170]

@the broadhouse baking soda makes the glue bond better and instantly.

[@thebroadhouse]

thank you ☺️

[@adri92239]

What are the wood handles for¿

[@ceciliefowler7475]

I like the look of the sanding discs you use, i havent seen those before. I recently started polishing rocks and woild love to know what tools you would recommend

[@thebroadhouse]

The tools in this video are what I would recommend actually 😄 here's the link for the diamond grinding bits- www.amazon.com/dp/B07S478P4V?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share and for the sanding discs- www.amazon.com/dp/B07PTBH6Q9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Also I always like to remind people that polishing rocks can be really bad for your lungs and overall health if you aren't wearing proper breathing protection. if you want a suggestion on that also just ask ☺️ I love that you're getting into polishing rocks it's been such a fun and rewarding hobby. I've only been doing it for just over a year but I love it so much!

[@earljohnson2676]

Love it I find rocks that I think I can work with and do the same very cool to see I’m not the only one haha hood work

[@thebroadhouse]

Thank you Earl! I'm always on the lookout for neat rocks. Great to meet a fellow rock person 😁

[@Ravenevari]

Hi❤ thanks for sharing your creative process! Could you tell me which Dremel series did you use? Looks quite handy!

[@thebroadhouse]

hi! thank you for this sweet comment 🥰 I use a 200 series dremel

[@Gabriel-gabriel]

beautiful

[@thebroadhouse]

Thank you! 😊

[@thanosnicolaou2263]

Very nice! Can you tell me where you find that yellow attachment tool? Very useful.

[@thebroadhouse]

I ordered it on Amazon 😚

[@ChloeMurray-mt6wi]

May I ask what speed your dremel is on? Sorry if it’s mentioned somewhere and I missed it

[@thebroadhouse]

always on low speed! anytime I try to go on high it wears my bits down too fast. I didn't mention it in the video, but that's something I should start mentioning going forward. sorry about that!

[@hrrf2184]

Hi, I loved your video, perhaps you can tell us the name of the attachment for polishing or maybe post the link from amazon. Thanks

[@thebroadhouse]

thank you so much! the sanding discs- 180 Pieces 1 Inch Sanding Disc,... www.amazon.com/dp/B07PTBH6Q9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share the grinding wheels- 20Pcs Diamond Grinding Bits, 10mm... www.amazon.com/dp/B07S478P4V?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[@normanacree1635]

Ona a petoskey stone that size, how many discs would you estimate it would take to polish? Petoskeys are pretty soft.

[@thebroadhouse]

you probably wouldn't use up any of the discs. but at the most, one disc per stage.

[@Sheenasalesthriftytreasures]

Great video just found your channel

[@thebroadhouse]

thank you 💜

[@killrillhardkorshunov6705]

Man, how can I find these tools for polishing? It’s diamond, right? I have one u used for grinding, but now looking for a good way to polish the obsidian. Wheels with polishing paste work pretty bad(

[@thebroadhouse]

yes the drum I use for shaping is a diamond drum here's the Amazon link- www.amazon.com/dp/B07S478P4V?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share and then for polishing I use these- www.amazon.com/dp/B07PTBH6Q9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share i dont use a paste i just wet sand and rinse often. after I go through all the sanding discs, I let it dry and then rub in some mineral oil with jean fabric and let it dry and that's it! they stay shiny 😊

[@mfilbert1785]

How hard are you pressing into the stone?

[@thebroadhouse]

not too hard or it wears the bit out

[@devaniedauncarpenter]

Do you have a link for the dremel you use?

[@thebroadhouse]

we purchased our's from Home Depot or Lowe's but it's the same price on Amazon- a.co/d/fVLXdE9

[@imolakatalinszabo8755]

hi there thaks for this video i wonder to know what kind of Dremel you working??i wanna buy!!

[@thebroadhouse]

it's a 200 series dremel ☺️

[@gigi-2033]

Ty❤❤❤

[@workermannamrekrow2768]

What does the mineral oil do?

[@thebroadhouse]

it gives the stone a shiny/wet look

[@shreyanair2804]

What gloves do you use?

[@thebroadhouse]

leather in this video but now I prefer nitrile

[@M3Monica]

Are you only using a little water? Any worry about electrocution?

[@thebroadhouse]

only using a little water. I dip the stone to rinse it. no I'm not worried about electrocution! I keep my dremel in my right hand and the stone in my left.

[@hotheadsniper]

Can you do faceting with just dremel?

[@thebroadhouse]

I just try for straight sides but I'm sure someone more experienced could do something more intricate! I'm still a beginner

[@hotheadsniper]

@@thebroadhouse thanks.

[@thebroadhouse]

@@hotheadsniper no problem!

[@berndontour3273]

Hi womit hast du das eingerieben LG Bernd

[@thebroadhouse]

hello! I rubbed it with mineral oil

[@user-ke3zu5qp2m]

Is there a particular Dremel tool you'd recommend?

[@1tonhammerfist]

Dremel brand. Corded series better than battery op

[@thebroadhouse]

sorry for not responding to this! Dremel brand corded like 1tonhammerfist said

[@jak3589]

Everyone has questions cause nothing was explained.

[@thebroadhouse]

what are your questions? I can answer them 😊

[@jak3589]

@the broadhouse what bits are you using all the way to polishing point & then what are you using for polishing including the compound? The video is vague & leaves people guessing.

[@thebroadhouse]

@@jak3589 a diamond drum to shape and sanding discs to polish. starting low and working high. no compound. just mineral oil after it's polished

[@jak3589]

@@thebroadhouse thank you

[@thebroadhouse]

you're welcome ☺️
