It’s the simple tips that I find the most helpful. A safe way to polish a chain is to do so by hand, rotary tools like flex shafts and polishing machines can be dangerous as they can grab and wrap a chain. I just hammered a little nail into my bench and it’s there when I want to polish. ☺️ shoutouts to various people who have shared different versions of this over the years! #PolishingChain #JewelryMakingSafetyTip #finishingjewelry
