Larry Potterfield and his gang at Midway just get to have all the fun. In this video, he showcases how to jewel a bolt for a bolt-action (or really anything) rifle. While the video showcases everything in super-speed and does not showcase the sweat and time, it has a solid break-down of the technique.

The beauty of this technique is that you can mess up a few times, re-polish, and start over. I just would hate to mess up over halfway into the 576 jewels shown in the video.
