JACKPOT! Very nice colour and opacity to the slabs. Been doing the same with my blocks. Some very surprising tones, much more than I anticipated. Thanks again for posting a video!
Great to see the full video Campbell! It looks like you are doing these cuts with no kind of fence, and just free-handing it. Is it hard to get a consistent thickness on your saw? I'm pretty excited as my mate is finally getting onto welding up a saw for me out of stainless built around a 400mm blade, so hopefully cutting depth will be 18ish cm which should be more than enough for anything i will throw at it. Will be interesting to see how it cuts.
Nice one, I use a square against the edge of the table, getting slices square is super important I have found when doing bigger slices. Thinner blades can make issues as they get bigger too.
Just discovered your UA-cam account!! I am fascinated by your videos, the jade is outstanding and the trim saw awesome. Could you tell what brand is it and where can it be sourced?
@@mayafatah9303 jade doesn't usually go white with age. If it has been worn then it usually gets more polished by the skin. If it is a display piece, then keeping it with a light coat of vegetable or mineral oil can be a good practice if needed.

@@CampbellCarving Ah that makes sense. Do you try to cut along the grain when slicing larger pieces?
@@thecarvingshed yea definitly as much as possible.

Welcome aboard! The trim saw is home made. I think I have a video talking about it and how I built in on my channel. Somewhere
ua-cam.com/video/XO0FR_f5CuE/v-deo.html this is it. A previous version but you get the idea
@@CampbellCarving Thank you!
Hi there, I am wanting to make a simple necklace for my friend. Do you know of any video sights to help that are basic for a first timer? 🙏
Check out my site there is a tutorials page with all my UA-cam videos on it. Campbellcarving.co.nz. Send me any questions you have.
What blade are you using for cutting,i am trying to get the right tools for myself
Not a blade expert. I think it is a notched diamond blade, maybe 0.6mm.
Thank you
