Hi Gerald, 

    Just a coment on your coment. I bet I have been polishing gravers
    about as long as you have because I learned much the same process
    off polishing paper and pencil lead. But I have to say that the "
    good olde days" weren't always that good. Diamond paste and spray is
    easily available through most of the jewelry  and lapidary tool
    companys. And a 25.00 dollar bottle of it will last for a couple of
    years of daily use. Plus it is fast, you can eliminate some of the
    in between steps. Many of the modern tools and equipment are a
    godsend in saving time and effort. That means you can do a better,
    faster and more profitable job. Win Win Win. 

    I am not the least bit nostalgic for those good old days when we
    worked harder and made less money. As long as the quality of the
    work remains or improves. In the this buisness the ends often
    justify the means.
