I Forgot!
Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 4th May 2017
I forgot! I really didn't remember what a pain 80 grit is. I regret undertaking this project of grinding down my polishing cups so I would have more surface area. Grinding anything with grit is a long tedious process. If using a hack saw on all that PVC pipe wasn't bad enough. There is now grit everywhere and I have hardly begun to grind the new cups.
80 grit takes forever! This is why I only was able to finish 10 spheres a year when I started. I had forgotten that it could take months just to get a ball round. I have so far gotten to sets beveled. There are a total of 4 sizes that will be needed for each of 3 polishes, 3 cups to each size. Only 30 more to go.
My polishes still have not arrived. I believe they are on a slow boat from the east coast. I expect Fed Ex to pull up any day now. I sure hope I like these new products.
Thanks for reading.....
