Love these two tips from @charlottejstudio - “my two favourite hacks -
#1 use washi tape to protect soft gemstones from abrasive polishing tools!
#2 standard Foredom hammer tips fit into the Dremel engraver, creating a budget friendly hammer hand piece.” LOVE the idea of Washi tape. I have been using painter’s tape and I think Washi would be much easier to work with. Also love the idea of hammer setting with a dremel!!
