I don't think admitting that we've bought duff things makes us look foolish. I think passing on information helps everyone else not to make the same mistake. I was happy to take the flak about the Jooltool before I'd tried it out. Luckily for me, it turned out to be one of the best things in my studio but if it was rubbish, I'd have said so.

Hey Carole, I would love to hear the full down and dirty on the JoolTool when you get a chance! I am going to upgrade my cheapo flexshaft to a micromotor (for all the stuff where "mobility" is key like stone setting and engraving etc.) and get myself either a proper bench polisher (just use a Proxxon handheld now) or possibly the JoolTool if it does the same job and some! Hope to do this in the New Year assuming the Xmas trade is good!

Yes they are

Anyhow, there are too many "shortcuts" these days.

I'm so glad you edited. Me and my poor self taught skills were devastated. :sniffs:

What I was attempting to say was..it`s alot more beneficial to go through all the hours of practice required to become proficient at *whatever*.. before getting involved in shortcuts & gadgets.
I did also put 95% of things look crap (which I actually meant is, they could be vastly improved with alot more hard work on the fundamentals).

You`ll have to try & figure out what I mean without being offended as I can`t quite get the message across any nicer
