The polishing every tooth with pencil lead is the only tedious task(for me) it is helpful to break this important step up into smaller burnish sessions rather than do every gear in the clock back to back.
The photo is the largest gear in the clock, I have taken a rest from tooth polish to build the little hot air balloon and gondola, there is a man about 1 inch tall standing in the gondola shading his eyes from the sun with one hand, the level of detail that can be had with laser cuts is impressive.
