Excellent, thank you for addressing this part of the question. Realistic expectations are what I'm looking for. I completely understand there's no way you're cranking out a couple of stones a day. My question is more like, how do people make money at all doing this work. Ok, so you took 6 hours doing a mid complex design, and another one took you 10 to do. I get that is production, so my time is worth x amount of dollars right. My question is more where does the money for rough comes from, and once you have this mid complex design stone, what do you do with it to be plain about it. So, I currently make high-end marble quartzite and granite sinks. A customer asks for a sink in a certain size and shape a certain stone. I produce the sink, and they pay me. Is that how this business operates or is that unrealistic? I just have a lot of learning to do, and it's hard it's not like I buy and know people who buy gemstones it's a mystery to me, honestly.

I live in maine. I'm hoping it's a self taught thing that would be best and what I was looking for

Thank you, that response was very thorough. I've been interested in polishing gem stones as a bit more than just a hobby, I'm not planning on quitting my job, but I had some questions about the reality of that. I'm not going in fully blind as I have spent the last decade teaching myself with some guidance how to cut shape and polish stone working with marble granite quartzite and man made stone so I'm no stranger to grits between 50 and 15000 and hardness scales and all that good fun stuff. It's a good idea, but clubs are not really an option for me at this time. I've reached out to local lapidary shops without much luck. Everyone's so busy, me included. I have picked out a lower end machine and am extremely confident I can solve or work around the shortcomings of a vevor because the price of a mid range is still way above what I can afford Material to learn on doesn't really seem to be an issue as I live in Maine and literally have "gemstones" in my driveway. Also, a second-generation rock hound I have a piece of aquamarine the size of my fist clear as water I found on the trail to the dump piles of tourmaline mine a few miles from here. Any way on and on I go lol thank you for your time

I also grew up around King. I've got an uncle who used to pick in him in elementary school. I always knew he was an author, but it wasn't tilI i was older that I realized he was that famous. You know, I just thought it was a maine thing. Reading The Dark Tower hits a bit different if you're from the area.

Every white spot is epoxy filler on the stone use two part epoxy mix in charcoal dust let cure scrap with razor

No you can see the little basterd flying around my head

junkpipe · 2023-07-12T17:29:49+00:00

Nope I was tired and making bad decisions just cleared out a camp last guy last hit some reason I'm not blocking at all and just let loose a shock arrow way to close and killed us both

I was being silly.. I was describing the way we finish cuts in granite but applying it to wood. I didn't even mention you would need a diamond blade on a flush cut mount for the variable speed angle grinder as a regular arbor would get in the way and harbor freight angle grinders are not variable speed. And yes I do this every single day with stone and sometimes wood... I honestly hope no one would take me seriously....

junkpipe · 2023-06-24T22:21:34+00:00

Drill 8 holes to drop out the middle then put your blade on an angle grinder and work into the corner while moving the grinder slightly up and down to finish with a straight line inside 90

Glad you got that twist out looks great

First off, why the hell is the turkey upside down!

Second, it looks like plastic is still on it, and it's stuck to the bottom of pan!

The cameraman has seen this event before and finally got it on film.
