In this video I show you how I polish rocks on a budget by polishing a couple of my favorite pieces of petrified wood from Nova Scotia.
Here is all you need to get this DIY set up:
- Old drill: $0
- 4" diamond polishing pad kit with arbor (50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500, 3000 grit): $75
- 5/8" threaded drill adapter: $10
- Time: $0 (Depending on the rock you can do one flat surface in about 3hrs using this method)
- Total Cost: $85
The results speak for themselves! However, I will be upgrading my rock polishing set up to be more time efficient and will reveal my new method in future polishing videos!
I am experimenting with different video editing software right now so I apologize if there are water marks in the video. The rocks are more important anyway!!
