I'm learning to cut in a totally new style and this is where I'm at after the first month.

Hi Justin, I am relatively new to faceting here in Australia. I have been doing an oval from a rectangle rough structured on 1x 0.83 sizing of the rectangle. This was written by Ann and Earl Manor in an article in the USA Lapidary Journal August 1980 edition .

Thanks for another great educational video, I find it very interesting. Instead of an alcohol lamp, I use a candle, maybe it's good for traveling, it's smaller and light. I also move the stone by aligning the girdle with my eye and succeed quite well in that. Best regards Predrag .❤💎🖖

Here in brazil, we do the crown and heat the waz and tilt the stone 45 degrees an cut it just making ajusts on the jamb peg. Both, free hand or using the divider. That table maker that holds the stick straight will make a lot of vibration and ruin the polish on our medium hardness stones (beryls, turmalines, garnets, apatites, quartz, andaluzite ...). I make and try it, and I learn it, nerver work unfortunatly.

I love your videos, I learnt to dop with wax . I only use glue to re-enforce the wax . I find it messy. And prefer wax . Like most things in life you only get better the more you do it. Congrats on challenging yourself and enjoying the process. Cheers.Mate.

My question is why not use two sticks and an alinement transfer jig. Then the stone is perfectly centered and square to the stick.

@JustinKPrim 7 ай бұрын

1) it’s too much work. 2) there is no need 3) I want to become perfect and free hand wax transferring.

The only problem I see with the Girdle Levelling Line is that there is a limit to the stone size which appears to be pretty small. Of course, I'm going by what I can see on the video. What is the distance between the dop and the level line ? Or in other words, what is the stone size limitation ?

@JustinKPrim 8 ай бұрын

Good point! There's over 9mm between the edge of the dop and the line so I could probably do a stone with a max width of 17mm. I rarely stones that big, most of the ones I do hover around 8mm on the max size. I guess if I want to cut giant stones I need a giant dopping aligner.
