Another tiny tool I’m very excited about 😂
If you saw me share the teeny-tiny 0.5 mm round ceramic stones that come in the mechanical-pencil-looking tool, meet their slightly bigger, square-ish sibling: the 0.9 mm Mini Super Ceramic Stones from @gesswein.jewelryI tried out the 0.9 mm version today during the live on a ring I’ve been working on, and it worked really well for getting out a little scratch I had. I also showed how I could further remove the scratches using a new 30 μm diamond “spatula” tip I got for my Dipro Mini.
If you’ve been following along with my Dipromini Mini-Filer journey, I’ve shared a few videos already, with more to come!
There was also a good question during today’s live about whether these ceramic stones are capable of actually drawing into the metal. You can watch the video to see the end of that experiment 😂 It didn’t work that well for me, but I did show another option that did!
If you have any questions about any of these tools, please feel free to drop them below. I’m having a lot of fun testing things and sharing what I learn.
Thanks to everyone who joined me today! It’s always fun jumping on live with all of you ❤️
If you want to make sure you don’t miss the next one, turn on your notifications! I tend to go live on Mondays sometime between about 12–3 PM Eastern.
