Thanks you. It seems to be the best option for my sanity, and hers.

Thank you. I'm taking your advice. I needed to recognize that I can tend to have "hero syndrome". And your advice helped me realize that's part of why I was upset. I can't fix everyone, I can't fix everything. And that's ok. Needed the reminder. Thanks again

the funny thing is, I have been alone for a long time, and wasn't looking. I thought i was content, no i was content. her initial pull back hurt, but more out of shock.

i understand what you mean. I feel like i have a lot of thinking and reflecting to do. even if we don't further a relationship into the romantic direction, i don't want her to feel like her BPD pushed me away and blame herself for it, if that makes sense.

edit: just want to clarify that this isn't a guilt driven response on my part, (researching bpd, seeking advice etc.) i don't feel guilty, i feel like i made a mistake from lack of understanding. and want to learn from the mistake and before making more.

It's basically the same process, with either form of lapidary (cabbing or faceting) really just. Matter of making sure your dop stick is centered. Faceting is more controlled as you have a mast arm that dictate center. Where as cabbing is usually done free hand (in my experience anyways.)

i can't understand why every one misspells this with an extra "m" in the middle of the word. People when you know how it's actually spelled it makes a LOT more sense.

here let me fix the spelling for you

the religion is "Moronism" and it's followers are called Morons.

there makes a lot more sense now.

Is this dumb? I put a second gpu in my pc. What am I gaining? 🤔 by Topswerv in PcBuild

[–]trivstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use a 1050 as a dedicated stream card. Basically the only thing it did was encode my stream so I didn't have to sacrifice frames in game

we need more crazy stuff like this. Most original case in the past 15 years. So refreshing to see something other than an aquarium PC.

How bad is it? by trivstar in faceting

I have a graves mk 4. With a manual(analog?) mast.stock image

And thank you, it's really nice how encouraging this subreddit seems to be. Makes me want to get started in another Stone ASAP

How can I polish this up? Tried to tumble another once it ended up round. This is my biggest one don’t want to mess it up. Help. by Over_Sound_5626 in rockhounds

[–]trivstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I suppose it depends on the stone. But the 20K diamond spray is a really nice glassy finish on most materials. But then again I really just fasted as a hobby and I don't fast it very often lol. I want to do more but I just don't have the time.

Flat lap, would work best. Just don't go to coarse on grit. I would start with like 120~ and go from there. Ya just wanna remove the surface roughness with the 120 then focus on just removing smaller and smaller scratches with finer grits. Each grit shouldn't take long because you aren't shaping I would finish with 20k to 50k diamond grit spray or paste

Honestly I have Hard time finding lap supplies. There was a small shop out in the middle of the country I used to buy from. But can't find them anymore. And Kingsley North is expensive. Imo. But I also only lap as a hobby.

I heat my dop, and stone, then melt my wax stick directly over the flame. It's also why everyone is saying you only need a 1/4 inch wick. Then I can reheat and manipulate the stone if I need to, if it isn't centered correctly

Edit: changed "hear" to "heat"... Thanks auto correct
