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!
The way you cut your stones, so unique! Makes me want a lapidary set so bad
Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Liz
Thank you for posting! So informative and no time wasted. Subscribed!
Greetings from California, Liz. I'm a budding rock hound and am really enjoying your vids, they are very informative. Thanks!
Liz, you did fantastic job on bringing out the graceful flow of the banding and that shape is a perfect fit! Very nicely done, Thank you.
+Mike Magnum Thanks for commenting Mike. She sure is a beauty and I'll be sad to see her go. She'll be for sale on my website, opening next month. All the best, Liz
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.
just keep it....this earth will be renewed some time.
Ah ! Liz worum spreche ich kein Inglisch. .... ich will so zu dir nach Australien, ich lernen dich und dein Werk ! Das so toll , was du nachts ! Ich mag Edelsteine! Brawo Liz 👍💖👏💖
Amazing work. This is the first video I've seen of making gem stone smooth and nicely shaped. I wish i could have that one or find a pattern gem like it .
Hi! I'm trying to learn how to make Cabochons! I have a lot of stones because well.. I love them! Thank you for making this video!
OreotheAnimelover where you have got stones
awesome! I pick up stones all the time that have the same potential. I'm thinking about doing this for a new hobby now. thank you for showing me how. I look forward to more videos.
I enjoy ALL OF your ideas, you're excellent with the craft. Also, you help me with the project I'm working on, and I just know that you will continue to help me. Keep it real!
And thank you Liz.
You are very inspiring and wonderful human being. I truly enjoy watching your channel from digging gems and crystals to shaping them to showing us your beautiful collection of succulents. Thank you for sharing your channel with us.
You are so welcome Javier and thanks for watching. Stay safe and healthy. Cheers, Liz
You "ROCK" Liz!!! A joy to see you go for this transformation. Would love to do it but I'm so afraid I'll loose my fingers. !!
Thanks for watching Nikinik. There's absolutely nothing to be afraid of. This saw blade doesn't cut into flesh. Only hard rocks, so it's safe for little fingers like mine. XD Cheers, Liz
Liz Kreate Really?. I thought you were taking a lot of risks. Glad to know it's safe. You are so skillful any way. TFS
LIZ.... YOU just might be the best, but watch it, I am leaning everything from You... THANKS Perfect
You're such an inspiration I love your videos so much ❤️😭
Thank you! Fascinating, and so well done. You do beautiful work!
Missy Snell Thanks for watching Missy and wish you all the very best. Cheers, Liz
wow, pure skill, especially working so close to the blade! The finished project is amazing
+Ryan Forshaw Thannks Ryan and glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers, LIz

Cool vid. I just started tumbling my own stones.
It turned out really nice. You are a multi talented lady.
Thanks for the kind comment indy2 and wishing you all the very best for the New Year. :-)
We love to find pretty stones on the beach. Your video is going to cost me though because now I want to try and process some found stones to beautification. I doubt that I'll ever get close to your amazing talents though. Thanks so much for sharing.
gorgeous! my puppy was chewing on something, and it turned out to be a lovely rose quarts rock. i thought i'd check with youtube on how to polish it up. im a beader and a bit of a rock hound. but, after watching this, i think it'll just have to stay in its natural form. lol. you're very talented! thanks for sharing this information.
One can easily (with patience) polish a rock/gemstone without using a machine. In the next coming weeks, I'll be uploading videos on processing rocks/gems without using a machine. Thanks for watching and hope your puppy keeps bringing you more rocks/gems. Cheers, Liz
I love watching your videos, you're so talented : ), thanks for sharing!
Its beautiful
I'm from Persia and live at Sydney, your video is amazing and Help us, god bless you 🙏👍✌️📢🎥🎬🎞️🎙️🗣️💯💓🎭🎤👆
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching and blessings to you and your family.
I am really enjoying all of your videos, especially the gold prospecting. Helping me plan a retirement!
Jimmys Creations Thanks for watching and commenting Jimmy and glad our videos have inspired you to plan your retirement. Take care and stay safe. All the best, Liz
You are good, but man I got scared every time your finger got close to the blade
Landon Luman The type of saw blade i'm using only cuts into hard objects and won't cut into flesh, so it's quite safe. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Liz
Liz Kreate Wait say what? How does that work
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). :)
Buddy Bellwether Thanks for watching and the handy info Buddy. Cheers, Liz
Landon Luman i was 7 when i started working with machines
I'm looking stone at Parramatta river in Sydney and I will find amazing Ruby Red, I can't believe that,😲🤑👀👁️💕💪🎞️🎥
Thanks for your channel....
God bless you 🙏👍 and your channel workers
Good luck!
very nice. good job
Very nice results. I am just getting started and completed my first week of tumbling 3 days ago. Now I am looking for tools that I can shape rocks with before I put them in the tumbler.
Thanks for watching and commenting James and best of luck finding a Combination Lapidary Saw and Grinder. Cheers, Liz
great video! thx for sharing
Thx for posting!
Well Done! Love your voice. Puzzeled out where you were in the world before I checked your info and guessed right! Have you always been an Aussie? Seems like there was a hint of southern California in there at times... Thanks for uploading!
I enjoyed watching your video! I got freaked out when you got you put your fingers close to the blade
Incredible beauty...wow!
Made in Australia, wow, I never knew us Aussies actually made anything cool. ...well' ya learn somethin every day.
I used to work for Tiffany & Co. here in the U.S. and I can tell you that a lot of our jewelry tooling and equipment had "MADE IN AUSTRALIA" labels on them. 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.
Beautiful.
Very Nice

very very good
Beautiful Job¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
I don't do it, but I find things like these satisfying. Call me weird. I subscribed :)
+sardonyx bruh Not weird at all. One just never know when it might come handy one day. :-) Thanks for watching and subscribing. All the best, Liz

It is so great job. In fact I have lots of collection of gemstones, rough pieces, I really want someone to cut and polish them. Of course it is paid 👍 Thanks!
Thanks for watching and commenting EZ Gao. Hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Liz
Liz Kreate Yes, I like watching the video and it is cool 😎! Thanks!
I like this video
This is fascinating to watch, but all I could think was 'Oh god I'm sticking my bare hands right next to a spinning saw blade!' Never cut stones while distracted, intoxicated, or sleep-deprived.......
I felt just the same!! Would love to do it but I'm so afraid I'll loose my fingers.
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!
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
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.
Marshall
That's very awesome! I'm wondering that where how can I get these machines to make a pretty stone?
Your truly great :-)
amazing
steady hands on the lady
Nice
