At-home Stone Lithography - Stone Graining #2

Hi everyone,
I'm back with a very shaky video about stone graining without a sink.
This is a great method if you 1) don't have an extra sink to put out of use, 2) have a yard and 3) don't live anywhere too cold. I think I'll be regretting it in the winter months, but otherwise my stones won't be getting grained.
I use carborundum grits in 80, 120, 180 and 220, and I do a mix of stone on stone as well as graining using a steel puck. You may notice some scratches on the corner of the larger stone at the time of filing. That's because on the first rounds of 80 grit (not pictuerd in the video), one of my two larger stones had a sharp edge that was catching on the other stone during graining. Much of how I do lithography comes from what I learnt at Concordia University, many moons ago, and the Tamarind Book, which I reference from time to time.
Thanks as always for watching, liking, commenting, subscribing or supporting in any way you can!

Hi! I love your video! I was wondering where you got your graining puck from. I'm just starting my at-home litho practice, and I'm having trouble sourcing materials

@@waywardh9528 I know some lithographers have purchased solid steel pucks from metal/hardware suppliers and used those. I got mine from Takach Press in the US.
