4:34 I'd use the word indigo for that brilliant, deep blue. Gorgeous!! And, of course...I'm jealous. The structure of that one looks like the turquoise blue one I found a year ago. After polishing, it almost looks like the coloured part has some rectangles defined within it. Just amazing!

Jason, I was hoping you would polish that thin slice (I think it would look amazing). Then you could maybe put a trademark on it and sell it as "Bacon Slice Agate". I'm almost drooling thinking about it, ;-).
@RockhoundingLife3 жыл бұрын
I think it would be too thin to polish on the flat lap. I don't have a dopping station. I might put it in the vibratory tumbler. I've had success with thin slices using it.

Absolutely stunning my friend👌😍✨ You know... I've been seriously thinking about becoming an affiliate... I really want to start making things like towers and start selling my stones and the one thing I'm missing to make the dream happen is a flat lap... I really need me one. Great job on the polishing... It really turned out amazing. I should send you a metallic pencil to mark your cross sections... It won't seep into the stone at all which markers will do with certain material and it won't wash away like a regular pencil will. It's a tip I got from the club. Took me forever to find them tho... Can only seem to find them at a welding shop. If you want one let me know!

This gives me a headache.. Dude, you really need to buy lapidary gear.. Hand drill motors aren't meant to run that long. You're using construction tools on material that deserves better. I'm glad you're getting a deal on hitech, and they're a step up from the wood drill, but they are the harbor freight of lapidary compared to covington, diamond pacific, highland park.. Sell some of that incredible material and buy some real tools. Two saws, a cab machine and a vibratory flat lap would change your life.
@RockhoundingLife3 жыл бұрын
Some people aren't in the position to purchase thousands of dollars worth of equipment. If I did this professionally...... maybe..... I'd make the investment. But why would I spend thousands when I can get the same results with construction tools? This channel shows that you can have fun in the hobby on a budget. I'm ok using the tools I use. My drill is an older one that I have since upgraded from so instead of throwing it out I use it for lapidary.

@Archimark13 жыл бұрын
@@RockhoundingLife I would respectfully suggest that buying vintage equipment, and refreshing it, cost me less than your construction gear did, and works 100x better. I run gear, daily, that was built from 1955 - 1975 that will still be running when newer gear made with plastic needs to be recycled. The boom of old machines made post-WWII were built like brick houses, with really simple (still easy to find) parts, they are damn near immortal. It would be good video content and promote using tools safely, for the purpose they were intended.

@@Archimark1 I don't disagree with most of what you are saying. Though my diy drill set up cost less than $100. The old drill was free. I had to buy the Arbour and Diamond pads. $70 total. I have 4 active kids. I don't really have the time in my life to get into vintage lapidary restoration. I don't actually use the diy setup much anymore since I became affiliated with Hi-Tech Diamond. Sometimes it has its uses like in this video. Not everyone has the means to obtain vintage or used lapidary gear. A drill and polishing pads is easy and everyone van do it, whether they live in an apartment or have a house. I guess the main point I disagree with you on is that I don't think it's offensive to use old or super cheap construction tools to work on rocks. It can be done safely and the wear and tear on the tools isn't as severe as you suggest. I've been using that drill to polish rocks for 10 years.
