    Thank you for the extra tip on 'not wanting to wait the extra 8 weeks' for the tumbler and for telling us how to do it alternatively!

    When I was 5 or 6, my family moved to a new house, and a small rock collection came with it. Me, being five, kept it outside and let the rose quartz true white in the sun. What I would give to have that collection in good quality today.

      Tsubaki Star I don't know if you have ever seen a bone saw (or the saws they use to cut casts off after broken bones), but this is the same principle. It doesn't actually cut the stone, it abrades it. So you are basically sanding it in half with tiny diamond (or silicon carbide). :)

You Aussies actually make a lot of very cool things. Australia has a substantial jewelry industry and a substantial gem mining industry and related industries. One day I hope to go Rock collecting in Australia.

      If a person cannot figure that out without being reminded by the child-minded idiot police, they won't have fingers for these projects or any others. Why is there always a teachers pet yutz who has to state the obvious. This is what happens when you allow the politically correct to invade the world. Good grief!

    • @joseywilds3133
      @joseywilds3133 6 років тому +3

      It’s a fucking wet saw, it will not cut you, it will burn you, the water rotating around the blade is like a protective barrier, go get edumacated

    • @clevoloki55
      @clevoloki55 6 років тому +5

      These type of saw “blades” are more like blunt metal discs with tiny diamond grit stuck to the surface, so when you bump them it’s like bumping spinning sandpaper. You would have to really get snagged or hold your finger against it on purpose to hurt yourself - It doesn’t slice you open the way a wood saw would.
