Hi Pam,

    I've read that you could use the ball bearings for dapping. But
    these aren't any bigger than my thumb and I already have a dapping
    set. One day their use will be revealed to me until then they are
    just pretty. 

    The water is for grinding/cutting  stones. I do it all by hand with
    my flexshaft. I also thought about the  bacterial growth in the
    water so if I'm not going to be working with stones for a few days I
    just drain the tank. in the mean time I put a little Clorox bleach
    in the water. I don't reuse it more than 2 or 3 times any way and I
    never really fill it full. I can just see it springing a leak and
    making a huge mess in my shop. I'm in the process of shaping plexy
    glass to dome over the top of my tub so the water doesn't go all
    over the place, I'm tired of my safty glasses being spattered with
    gritty water and I'm tired of being soaked all the time it's too
    cold for that this time of year. 

Love & Light 
Jurnee Moon
