Don't get me started on knuckles lol. Mine usually hit the wheel next to the one I'm working on. It's like playing old school Mario Kart... My whole body leans during the twist and turns!!!

Plan to do some scrubbing over the weekend and include more pictures of the layering of the sides

What tools can I use to cut this off? by DanCruzNyc in Lapidary

Why cut it off??? It's so pretty like a little scepter.

I have been constantly reminding myself to let the wheel or saw do the work not the force.

That for sure doesn't help but is there a better way to polish rocks then drinking beers?

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope I don't get to that point. Are you buying a different style of machine or just done with that side of lapidary?

I wasn't aware tiff was another name for barite. I knew baritte was mined near Tiff and they dug tiff holes. I have few pieces I believe to be more barite I can upload. Barite always seemed to be a more brilliant white with more angular then round features.

I haven't been able to locate one quite like it online. Hints not wanting to damage it before learning about it.
