that's super awesome info, can you please make a tutorial/timelapse on hand polishing without machinery? How would you prepolish and polish this piece with your hands?
I would typically move to two different pumice steps after this with a scotch brite pad to hand finish the glass. There are cerium impregnated hand pads that can be used to polish by hand as well. We may make a video showing the full routine.
A lot depends on the type of glass you're looking for. From borosilicate crystal to lead crystal to float glass. Different location for different types of glass.
Nice beginner tutorial. Love to see educational material on coldworking
Glad it's helpful.

I was wondering, where do you buy the glass itself?

@@hisglassworksinc I’m probably looking for borosilicate crystal.

I am surprised you don't wear gloves given how small, sharp, and hard those particles can be. Those are easily penetrating your skin.
You certainly can wear gloves, but it's not a requirement.
