That marker tip is EXCELLENT, I’m a newbie to lapidary but a life-long crafter who’s used that trick for other craft applications and I don’t know why it never occurred to me to try it for lapidary work! Thank you sir, fantastic instructional - your wisdom and insight are much appreciated!

This is, by far, the best cabbing tutorial I’ve ever seen. Larry is a great instructor who tells us exactly what we need to know without a lot of time-wasting chatter. Thank you, Larry! And keep on cabbing!

Thanks for a great cabochon demo! I also found the information on that wonderstone from AZ interesting! I've only seen the Utah variety but we may have to go find some. 😊

Gosh, that was interesting! My first viewing of this process. I kept thinking,”Don’t grind any more off or it will end up too small for the setting,” But I’m pretty sure that this guy knows what he’s doing. And just think, these pieces of lovely jewellery were just a chunk of rock sitting in the ground a few months ago. I can only keep thinking, aren’t nature and then, technology wonderful! What gorgeous creations are made when the two are linked by a very clever and gifted hand! Love it!❤️ Congrats on a fine job, from Downunder🦘

I am a lapidary but have been away from it for quite some time and was looking for some refresher lessons. What I found here was a really good class for all lapidaries. You are even using the Genie which is my machine. The only thing I do differently is the final polish. I do that on a flat lap made for the end of my Genie using various Diamond compounds. Thank you for making and posting this class!

@elainesawyer853 2 жыл бұрын

I have been teaching beginning lapidary for several years and I learned a couple of tricks I'll pass on to my students. I encourage my students to use a quick circular motion, riding up on the wheel to reduce flat spots. Beginners tend to be cautious and hesitant, resulting in multiple flat spots. At the end of a three hour class, all are pleased with what they accomplished.

@coreymerrill3257 2 жыл бұрын

I keep wondering if a machining trick would help when cutting valuable material on the saw. A relief hole drilled into the last part to be cut. It elevates stress in metals , which are also made of crystaline structures. So I wonder if it would prevent that breakage . The hole has to be slightly larger diameter than the saw blade but is not super critical for tolerances. I think it will help with sapphires ,precious opal and anything known for high tension in the crystaline structure . This is just an opinion and I exactly mean the words I say as I say them.

I mostly am chasing out oddities in some agate so i get a solid color which is a different technique to some degree since I am making it up as i go and carve away unattractive parts to highlight the color. Same with some knobby Australian black opal. It’s not uniform looking material but this lesson still gives me a lot to think about

@soundsliketree Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the video. I am curious why you drew the outlines on the back? I would think you’d be able to be more accurate with your framing of the material if you drew it on the front - given that the sharpie would be ground away anyway.

Couldn’t you simply turn the stone over once you cut it out?

@maxwellperkins9647 6 ай бұрын

Please excuse me if this is a dumb question, but why bother with spending much time at all cleaning up the back? Is this for jewelry where the back might be visible? I'm thinking of lapel pin and bracelets, where the back of the stone is glued to the metal and is completely obstructed from view. In this case don't you just need to remove the wax crudely, or is there some other reason for running it up to/through 600+ grit?

Человеческий фактор ,Достигая определенных успехов в работе .считают себя уже себя мастерами ,многие начинают гордится и хвастаться .и в большинстве случаев заболевают "манией величия ",Много технических и художественных ошибок ,как для мастера ,которому необходимо еще учиться ,Во первых -художественных -,Серьги должны иденфецировать главную форму и ее повторять ,Второе -отношение размеров одного к первому в зависимости от формы -должны относится как большее к меньшему ,ЗОЛОТОЕ СЕЧЕНИЕ.Третье -ширина к высоте -должны иметь модуляр или конкретное число и не может взято произвольно из фантазии мастера ,Взял и прочертил как вздумается ,Как дизайнер -что главное рисунок на камне или форма камня -не выяснено Соподчинять или искать или полагаться на интуицую и опыт работы ,Выбирать высоту камня и выбирать красивую кривую ,что бы камень "светился"и радовал глаз своей формой и содержанием .имеется ввиду цвет камня . ,Технические ошибки -много коротких и однообразных движений при обработке камня -они оставляют короткие плоскости ,вместо длинных и плавных ,Рундист 2.5 мм ,то что чертил маркером ,не должен быть под углом 90 градусов к плоскости .а слегка скошен ,что бы закрепить камень был устойчив .,Острые края нижней формы -делают фаску .от случайного соприкосновения с металлом и дальнейшего излома .Самое главное -это следовать пульсу и дыханию времени,какие модные дизайнерские формы пользуются успехом в моде и искать новое и не быть старомодным ,
