I think this is my favorite cut of yours.
I wish I would’ve found these videos earlier. You got some really cool videos man I appreciate how are you deep in you know diving deep and that’s really good. I’m learning a lot because I am going to start being a gemstone cutter so I’ve been writing down a lot of notes have been watching a lot of your videos and I just wanted to say thank you take care and God bless.
Glad you enjoy the videos.
This is one of the best videos you've ever made, Cliff. Thanks for taking the time to make it. (I sent you an email.)
Thanks John. Email read.
I love your channel 👍
Exilent 💎 Superbly Exquisite 💥
Spectacular result. Nicely done Sir.
Thank you
Not a Harry Potter fan, but I loved this cut and your always exquisite work! Jaws was precious in his glasses!!
Thank you Jo Ann.
This one is so exquisite ,I love the rich colour of it but I love red anyway lol..I think your start up to this was Brilliant Jaws looked so cute with his specs on ,and was so patient before eating his goodies ..It really made me chuckle ,nearly as daft as my dog who actually likes wearing clothes ,but she’s a bit smaller than yours ..Would be lost without mine 😀
Jaws is always happy to co-star for goodies. Eating is his favourite hobby.
💎🧐👍 the art of beauty
Philosophers Stone eh? I know a few alchemists that would pay dearly for that, let me know when you're ready to put it on the black market lol
If only if this The Philosopher's Stone was real. Jaws would have his own penthouse lol.
Ficou lindíssima
Parabéns
Cute dog
Mans best fiend for sure...Thanks for watching. Cheers
SHOWWW! Belo trabalho my friends. Good Work 👏👍👍
Thank you Alexandre.
Sir very nice I learn very easily thank you for teaching
Very informative :)
What a fun idea! Yes, if I imagine the Philosopher's Stone it would look something like that. Bravo, and give your editor a good cuddle - he deserves it for using those Addams-like graphics :-). Thanks for sharing, and take care.
Thanks Kathy. I had some making this video. Jaws had plenty of treats during the video.
Exceptional workmanship; as always! I couldn’t help but think what your stone would be worth if it were a natural red diamond.
Thanks Kris. If it was real Ruby it would have to be over a million.
Você é um profissional muito habilidoso.🧐👉👍👏👏👏👏
Very stunning Cliff. Just imagine if it was a pidgeon blood ruby at 75 carats. You would be a very rich man!!!!!
Thanks Ian. Yes I was thinking exactly the same thing. If only it was Ruby.
Hi sir cliff I am new on your Chanel I love your work it is really good art and you r doing great job I love to learn gem cutting will you be my teacher 🤗 I hope to here from you back may god keep you safe from everything
I don´t know anything about how to to cut a a gemstone but i do find your videos very interesting sa well as relaxing and i do love your assistant Jaws with his laugh! The sparkly end result of this stone is very nice and shiny too! Hugs, Susanne.
Thank you very much!
Very nice result, a big up tick in your video production, and Jaws as usual gives an Oscar winning performance.
I guess your design gets submitted to an approval body for validation and authorship
Thanks Paul. I'm not aware that gem designs need approval. Most are designed on gem cad or gem studio these days. Often designs are created from mistakes made.
First time ever Ive seen something like this done, Its looks daunting 😰 beautifully done and you take a lot of care. Im just mainly surfing gems and finding out where we can take our kids rock picking, I may look at this a long way down the track if we find we want to delve further into cutting gems, but for now just happy watching you 🤗🤗🤗
I glad you enjoyed the video.
I enjoy watching these, I have a lot to learn about gems and am eager to learn not only where to go but what to look for, I have a few specimens from my husbands Nan, I wish I had of learnt from her before she passed but knowing what I want to do now, I realise I wasn’t ready then, I am taking my kids down to our local creek to just look around and see what is there, see if we can learn anything about what Ive been studying.
Thank you for sharing. 😉
@@jojobrew4798 Depending where you live joining a gem club is a great option to learn.
Im south west nsw and im 2 hours in either direction of parkes/wagga/griffith, wagga lapidary has an open day weekend on 21st & 22nd of September, I am going to that and hoping to find a lot of information on everything.
Thank you
Thank you for showing how to add and transfer on the DOP sticks. Very helpful to someone like me who is learning from this.
No problems David.
Mükemmel pırlanta kesimlerine imza attığınız gözlemlenmektedir. !!!!!
That facet rough 😍😍😍
Well done
Thanks Jeanne.
Thanks awesome
Thank you.
Linda pedra!
Thank you.
Have you ever done any Tin Crystals. I would love to see what they look like faceted? As kids we used to pick them up, most were broken but I was always fascinated by the shimmer they gave off and wondered whether they would retain that shimmer once they were cut.
great
The giggle from Jaws makes me thing of Muttley from Wackey Races
Lindu trabalho parabéns
Thank you
I truly enjoy your videos. I am interested in gem cutting. I want to start with synthetics but need to know who I can trust for rough stock. Please advise if allowed. ty
I think your record player is broken. 😂
Fabulous vision. What a fantastic colour 😍. Can I ask what something like this would cost. Amazing work. Mesmerising to watch. Thanks so much for taking the time to video it an teach us all your trade 🙂
Thanks Shelly.
رائع.. رائع جدا
Thank you.
fine job you've done on this gem sir..,hope to get you some herk samples by months end..,have you ever faceted obsidian..? I think it would make a cool cabos!
Thanks. I've faceted Osidian (Volcanic glass). Difficult to polish though.
Good.
Just wondering if you have done any checkerboard table cuts, it would be interesting to see you cut a gem with that type of table.😁
Not a huge fan of checker boards, but I should try one some day.
I would like to learn more about faceting? I enjoyed the show.
Thanks Jeff.
Cliff, Beautiful work!!!! I have a question. Do you have a separate set of laps you keep just for sapphire? Also, What do you use to clean your laps in between cutting!!! Cheers my friend!!!
I only clean the polishing laps (tin) with WD40. Cheers
Hi. Thank you for this lesson video. I am eager to learn faveting. I am a jeweller,3d master,but like this job most of all. I want to start but i don't know which instruments are more quailified. Please advice me which firm's instruments are the best. Or enough for me. Thank you for attention
Fantastic tips for beginners - thanks. What machine are you using?
An Australian machine called a Facetstar.
@@VintageTimeGems Thanks, I am in Thailand and am going to buy a mast machine soon so am weighing up US vs Oz options.
Hey Cliff I would love to see you buy a cheap Chinese faceting machine and try to Fascinate a gemstone on that machine and see how it turns out
Wow this is amazing. Subbing now. Is there a type of set up you recommend for a beginner?
I would suggest you join a gem club or a facting guild. Usually there are always start up machines for beginners that someone will sell.
@@VintageTimeGems i don't have one here where i live. What should i do?
Great video. I really enjoy watching all of them. Where do you buy the source material for this video and what is the basic cost?
Thanks. You can buy the source material from a range of places. Ebay, China, gem shows. Prices can vary $23 a KG to $300 plus a Kilo if buying in bulk. Some of the blues and dark greens in CZ is expensive, but in comparison to natural gems very cheap.
I was wondering if this works for all colours stones =light and dark , it also reminds me of very old diamond in a ring my grammar had.
🤓 kıııhh..kıııhh 🔥
Thanks Hakan.
Love this channel! Rel-lit my passion for precious stones. Have you ever worked with Phosphophyllite?
Thank you. I've never faceted Phosphophyllite. But it sounds interesting.
@@VintageTimeGems Big props to you man, your videos are just what i need to learn and relax after work. Keep up the work!
@@Chiperoo123 Thanks. To me it's the fun factor of cutting a gem and also making a video. I'm just a novice at making videos, but I find it very enjoyable.
hello cliff, great video,can you tell me where you got the zinc laps from plz?
Search Ebay for - Jade Gem Angle Polishing Tool Flat Grinding Faceting Machine Polishing Wheel
Could you supply the link to where you purchased those Zinc laps. I need to buy one.
mind if i ask you where you got your machine and what it would cost? Im in the market and so far i have not seen anything that looks as beefy as that one.
If you are looking for highest bidder for your Philosophers Stone, you might want to contact Edward Elric.. He needs one of those to bring back his brother.. I am sure he wants to pay handsomely for the stone..
Looks great! Are you going to have the pdf available for download? Great design.
Thanks Chuck. No the pdf is not available for a download. You should be able to capture a screen shot of the design on the video.
Vintage Time thank you.
Hi Chuck if you look in the description you will see my email address. Just email me and I can send you the PDF file via email.
incredible! Do you ever cut synthetic rubys?
Yes I have. I made a video on flame fusion Ruby.
@@VintageTimeGems how long does it take to cut a gem? like the one in this video?
How do you cut the round form of the stone before facetting ?
What kind of tool do you use ..can you show us ??
this would also be awesome if done with a garnet stone *__*
👍😃
Nicely done. Have you ever cut a briolette or a marquis?
Thanks Manuel. Marquis yes....Briolette no.
@@VintageTimeGems You should find a suitable piece of rough and do both. For that matter, what about a pear shape?
Finally I don't need to sacrifice human life to create the Philosophers stone!
How much would be the initial investment to start cutting gems if one would be inclined to do so?
*magically flips the switch with his finger. I'm dying here.
And even Jaws flips the switch.
Where did you get that raw material
niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
How long did it take you to learn to cut. Your dog is cute, So if i get a stone from amizonite would you cut it for me. My name is Ellen
Takes about two years.
And the croud goes wild...
... Encore...
