      Someone once suggested that I should film more like the guy on the Black Opal Direct UA-cam channel. So I watched a couple of his videos and saw that he had a really nice system. Mine is based on that, but homemade and kind of wobbly. It works pretty well though.

    Great video! That looked like a fine piece of jewelry! What was impressed with was your explanation of how the rock was formed. The rock fractured and the gaps filled up with the white compound! That explains a lot for me. I often wondered how you get stripes going in several directions in rocks. I was pretty sure it wasn't purely sedimentary rock.

    I can appreciate a faceted gem, the less blood diamond (or insert gem type here) the better.
    But to take a stone that through a sequence of certain and special events, became something that would catch the eye of the one who looks and can see, truly adds value to the piece.
    Way to find it, rough it out, polish and stick the landing Rob. A lovely piece.

    Really great video Rob. I appreciate you showing in this video and your other videos all the steps. I am about ready to invest in all the pliers, wire and groove cutting equipment. One question. You mentioned that you just replaced your third wheel on your cab machine. How could you tell it was time to replace? I agree that this wheel is definitely going to be the first that needs replacing but just not sure how to tell when to pull the trigger.

    • @MichiganRocks
      @MichiganRocks  10 місяців тому

      I'm no expert, but I decided based on how long it was taking to get the scratches out that were left by the second wheel. I could have used that wheel for quite a while longer if I was just doing Petoskeys stones, but for harder rocks, it was getting pretty ineffective.

    How long does it usually take to polish up a stone this way?

    • @MichiganRocks
      @MichiganRocks  10 місяців тому +2

      It depends a lot on the type of rock. This one was soft, so it's quicker than a really hard rock. I'd say that just the doming and polishing on this one was around 20 minutes. That doesn't include slabbing, cutting the rough shape on the saw, or grinding the teardrop shape more accurately on the cab machine.

      @MichiganRocks OK so slow and steady. I just got my first lapidary saw and need to remind myself to slow down and have patience with rocks. Thanks for the response!

    • @MichiganRocks
      @MichiganRocks  9 місяців тому +1

      There are three different types of wire in that wrap. Here's a complete tutorial that I use: forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/68169/groove-wrap-tutorial-photo-heavy

    Instead of doing it on the wheel could you just tumble it with aluminum oxide on the vibratory tumbler?
    I think that might work

    • @dailthegoat799
      @dailthegoat799 10 місяців тому +1

      It wouldn’t be as perfect and not that smooth maybe put it in some corce grit first

    • @MichiganRocks
      @MichiganRocks  10 місяців тому

      These are really soft, so I don't think that would work well. I tumble lots of stuff that doesn't turn out perfect, but sometimes I like to make an attempt at something closer to perfection.

    I'll tell you what I know...my house sits on a creek at bottom of mountain... after carful study it appears to be a rock slide, and was obviously volcanic at some point... finding a lot of different crystal... magnetic sand!

      That rock sounds cool. I find black sand on the beaches of Lake Superior all the time. Probably about a quarter of it is magnetite.

    Whats the name of all the wheels and is it all of them diamond made?

    • @MichiganRocks
      @MichiganRocks  7 місяців тому

      It's called a cab machine. Cab is short for "cabochon" which is a domed rock that's used for something like a pendant. It does have diamond wheels. Here is my review of it a couple links to it:

      Yes, I sell a few things at a local shop. They don't have an online store, but will work with you if you call or email. olivetbookandgift.com

    Как называется такой станок для полировки?

    • @MichiganRocks
      @MichiganRocks  4 місяці тому

      Это называется машина-такси. Кабошон - это сокращение от «кабошон», который представляет собой куполообразный камень, используемый в качестве чего-то вроде подвески. Вот мой обзор на него, пара ссылок на него:
