Using a sewing needle 🪔 to sand AND polish hard to reach spots! From @martindenoch

ā€œInventing your own tools is part of the job as a Goldsmith. In my last video, there was a sequence where I used a sewing needle with a bit of sandpaper to clean those hard to get to places on the ring, and I got several comments about that. So, here comes a closer look!ā€

Great tip! Works great with any adjustable collet flex shaft or micro motor hand piece (quick release hand pieces that fit 3/32 would not work)
