I MADE SOME CABOCHONS AGAIN!!!!
« on: July 21, 2024, 02:10:23 PM »

 :coffee1: :coffee1:
I broke my slump, dug out the old beat up loretone LUX6 combo unit from its cover, was cutting with the saw, well it happened.
I moved a few rocks on my cart and seen some spectralite under all the ugly stones.

I sliced off a high vibrant end with massive blue color, added water to my wheels and shaped a pendant stone in a teardrop shape with the 80 grit, then slid a 100 grit sic belt over my expando wheel and hit it more, then a 600 i had stashed.
I will add photos later on, i had to put everything away to work on pressure washers my nephew owns so he has them for his business.

Felt really really good creating something again.
I also uncovered a nice chunk of Oregon porcelain jasper Phil Stephenson probably dug up years ago,
Shaped that into another teardrop and worked it too on my wheels.
I didnt finish them, they have a long ways to go on the 600 stages in a compo of worn belts.
Wishing i owned a Genie 6 wheel unit.
It would make cabbing considerably easier.
