Making Burnishers From Steel Wax Probes

Here is a tip for making your own burnishers to cut silver (like the inside/outside of a bezel) from @jewelrymonk - “I took an inexpensive steel wax probe, or awl, and trimmed, sharpened, and polished it. One is a point and the other is sharpened to have an edge. I use these to get into hard to get areas and shave and polish my silver. To create the tools I trim them with a separating disc, shape them with a snap on disc or a whetstone, and polish them by rubbing them on an index card with yellow rouge on it.
