First (and second) attempt at a small burnishing tool for the Dremel or drill.

This one works as long as you keep the speed down... but I got the lead foot with power tools... so I need to do this again and make it stand up to my habits.

I think this will work better with a closed grain wood and stronger drill bit for the shank. Oak was a bad choice. I may try again with maple or beech and some stainless rod... or a heat treated drill bit.
