I think it could do great as a vibratory tumbler.

Good stuff! I'll give ya $10 for the mods/upgrades. O boy this is great!

I love the idea of affordable lapidary tools! Can you post links to where we can purchase the hardware? I think I may try some things without making all the attachments. 3D printer is not in the budget right now😢 The dremel has been a solid tool for me, and use it in my Arizona garage daily.

where is the link to all the files?

Thats a cool idea

On a cabber, there are belts with some sort of soft backing so the surface gives, and allows for a stone to be polished, or take a high grit grind. Definitely a softer surface. Look at flatlap wheels, not facet plates.

I hope this project didn’t die!

Uhm what did you just use to fade out that dye?

Hi, any Updates? Greetings

Great idea and thank you for taking the time to film and share.

What is the wear like for someone who works on the machine often? I'm thinking of heat resistance and stress levels.

Sweet & gummy texture. 😜 You make it look so easy. 🙏Thank you so much for teaching these tips and tricks. It’s super helpful for those of us who are newbies. 🤌

Would that motor run an 8" Flat lap, will it go down to 200-400 rpm, if not do you have a recommendation. Thanks for a great show

holy fuck. as a lichen enthousiast, this has me deeply wondering; could the amount of lichens that highly react with uv in the city be a result of light pollution? as if they developed it as a mechanism to reflect back the excess light. the fact that there were almost none in the actual forst/wild was the thing that made it all click for me.

Ay yo... can we get an update video my guy?

next is a sewing machine head

i've missed where you posted the parts list and where to get them. great video! i for sure want to attempt making one

Anyone seen him in the last month? I donated to be a backer and never heard back from him (x2) Hopping he's ok

are you still going with this? I’m down to donate

Love the tips, torch, and rail/rotary jig. Thank you I'm definitely trying these out, love it!

update when?

I love this so much I saw the original in acrylic a while ago and then James improved it even more - I’d love to be able to build to build this in the U.K. things are so much more explained here - but I still sent the donation for the info as it’s a worthy project to support and who knows maybe one day he will do a ship able kit for those of us who can’t access 3D printing even if it’s just specified parts - I wonder how hard it would be to make this U.K. compliant. Both safety wise and power wise!! Just so simple for the hobbyist who hasn’t the space or funds for the lapidary equipment they drool over - for me this would be a game changer - just not sure how to at present! Loving the videos 😊

The video dreams are made of! I’d LOVE TO MAKE in U.K. power and fittings! If I had access to a 3D printer or a kit to make this in the uk would be heaven! 😊

Loving this, I make jewellery and have a ton of red jasper to process ready for the tumbler and this would be perfect. Sadly I don’t have access to 3D printing and getting things 3D printed here in the uk is expensive! Anything laidary in the uk is expensive! I’d love to have the skill set to build this machine just for the rock cutting ability alone! I hope your project is progressing and I hope life has taken an upward turn for you since you become jobless. Hoping life has improved loads. It’s tough existing on a limited income, I’m disabled and can’t work and my hubby is a veteran but despite being over retrial age he’s still,working to keep the bills paid. It’s the little things we do to try and stay afloat stay sane and make the most of the life we can afford to live! It’s tough out there! So I wish you the very very best of luck with your project and hope you can take it further. 😊😊

Instant sub and donate

You dang legend

Brilliant!

This guy is brilliant! He should be selling his setup.

Brilliant! Starting to do more and more knife sheath making and was about to lose my mind if my cement twist off lid got stuck to the point of fishing out my channel lock pliers again.

It's so sad that more people don't see this and support the idea. It would be great to buy a ready-made 100% kit for the whole machine, with all the 3D parts and all the small parts already included.

I wonder if white plants like dusty Miller or angel wings or lambs ear fluoresce

Did you use regular solder for electronics or for plumbing or what?

Would you post the vector file please?

Where did you get it do you have the website?

how to buy the tool from you, I cannot make it by myself

Es perfecto 👌🏼

Great job. Does anyone have a template for laser cutting?

TY so much for sharing this GR8 info!! Really appreciate you!😍👍

A person might want to consider lead buckshot as their weight, maybe held in place with resin.

I must have missed all the details about the bearings and magnets and how you put that together and where you got them. Is the idea that the plate is held in place solely by the magnets? Sideways force from carving won't be a problem? I'll watch this again but there are some mysteries.

Hay how did this turn out?

Do you still like or recommend the Gentec over the Little Smith?

having a little experience with photographing bioluminescence organisms. I know for a fact that this looks WAYY cooler in person. You still did a fantastic job capturing the glowing effects without editing. Good video dude this is so cool.

thanks

How do you stay safe from dust with this? Is there a way to use with a water drip?

Great ideas! May I ask where I can find your recipe for soldering clay? Thanks for sharing

Why isn't the audio in stereo?

Walking Macgyver

I somehow managed to find a watchmaker lathe (from an actual watchmaker's estate, no less) for a really good price... the caveat is that it had no compound slide for precise operation and uh... my motor skills ain't it. So any idea where I can get a compound slide? Or cross slide, I think they mean the same thing. It's a Whitcombe lathe, but I think I'm going to forgo the standard and just use one of the prebuilt things like you glossed over when you mentioned the Chinese thing.

Where do you get the bits ?
