That is top notch work there. Beautiful.

He uses commercial-grade equipment, though - not exactly a DIY at home job...

Very true...

He's got it down to an art...

Oh commercial grade toys hey? Such blasphemy! We should string him up and teach him a lesson with DIY dremmel and hand power

Also, is there very fine sandpaper for dremels, or only up to 240 grit?

Forgive the novice questions.

Thats what I use but I wouldn't use the sanding drums or discs with the dremel, only the felt pads for polishing. I hand sanded mine, not the quickest but for me the safest.
