Thanks! Glad you liked it! I wonder if you could find some way to mount a diamond sharpening plate to a vibratory multitool, and then fix that to a bench upside down and use it as a high speed sharpening surface? A sheet type orbital sander is the other thing that comes to mind, but I'm not sure if they only oscillate in one plane, or if they would jump around too much?

Luv it mate

Looks like maybe agate. Nice job! I've been cutting opal with sandpaper, my newest hobby. Isn't it hard to scrape up against the knife sharpener with all of those holes? I feel like it would get caught. Nice job man! Thanks for the video!

Thanks! Do you mount the sandpaper on a sheet of glass? That's the best way I've found to get a really good flat surface for when i go 800grit and higher. I need to be very careful that there's no grit particles under the sandpaper, otherwise it will introduce scratches into the surface. You're right that the holes can make it tricky - just at the start though. Once you've ground down a reasonable amount you get effectively a bearing surface which makes it easier to keep it flat. You do need to be careful though otherwise you'll accidentally get multiple surfaces. Like with knife sharpening, you can use your hands / fingers to set a consistent angle, then use your arm or body to move it back and forth.

What tipe of inseriment is this?

Hi, I liked your video. I was wondering if you could give me some advice please. I bought a wee pink tourmaline charm and it is so dull. It's about 5mm and faceted. I tried to make it shine with toothpaste and a cloth but it was difficult as the stone is small. Is there anything else I could do to make the facets shine a bit? Thanks 👍

Unfortunately I think it would be almost impossible to re-polish by hand - unless you got all the angles exactly right you would end up rounding off the surfaces and would make it worse. I think the toothpaste idea is probably the best one so I’m not sure there are any better options. If you do find one though reply back here - I’d be interested to hear about it.
