Benz, We're watchin, we're waiting. patiently...

Ditto JohnnyP!: Yep, you need a trickle of water onto handpiece burrs or whatever diamond tools you might use... *If you can peer through the chaos & follow the small hose in pic... Just a bucket (manually filled with another bucket) with a small hose (like the fishtank bubbler hose Benz mentioned) that leads to wherever you are working... Mine is long enough to reach several different tools & is clipped high on a peg to stop flow when not needed...

If you get as far as setting up any lapidary/'lap' wheels, the best way to get water to 'stick' to them whilst spinning; is to have a sponge sitting against the wheel & have the water dribbling into/onto sponge... (You might be able to see a blue sponge poking through the cowling above the wheel @ left...) Hope this helps!

Saxotica: Yeehaa!Great stuff. Very large, what/how did you carve these?? Im assuming they started out as big river stones?? Angle-grinder?? Please give us the scoop...

**Good to see a few of you coming out of the woodwork (pun intended!) Tama :)
