Traditional, lacquer based kintsugi, step 5, polishing #4 silver, Chinese vase

This video shows step #5, polishing #4 silver.   I started this yesterday and thought I had taken a video and only hit the camera button so I restarted it today which is why it looks partially done at the beginning.  Unfortunately today while taking the video I broke through in 2 places down to red so I may take all the silver off and re-apply it.   I am using a #1,000 stone to polish.

Traditional, lacquer based kintsugi, step 5, shaping sabi again, black bowl 3

This video shows removing and shaping sabi. The sabi I applied a couple of days ago I made with lacquer for glass since I have a tube I want to use up.  The sabi is still too soft, it is still cold here in Japan and it isn’t curing fast.

Traditional, lacquer based kintsugi, step 5, initial polishing of silver #3

This video shows the initial polishing of silver #3 on 2 pieces I am finishing for someone who did the substrate lacquer.  There is a breakthrough on the first one and what looks like the possibility of one on the second. I have my digital microscope to show a *10 or so image of it.
