Hi Orchidians.

    I thought it would be cool to share a neat flexshaft bench tip.  One
    finish I like is using 0000 steel wool.  Since I had about 50
    brooches to work on for a production run, doing each by hand looked
    daunting.  I thought, hey, why not use the power of the flexshaft! 
    I wound some steel wool around a large drill bit and voila!  My own
    homemade rotary steel wool tool.  This was perfect for patinated
    pieces that had lots of curvy detail or specifically for etched
    pieces. 

    So what is your favorite flexshaft trick either commercial or
    invented?
