Love you to man thanks for all the info ! Finally Bought my kit been wanting to start making jewelry for a while, Trying to do my research before jumping in haha
Fake opal looks like it's almost made up of that clear stuff they use for molds... With holo flakes throughout it. Which is why it stays consistent with the pattern... Rather than. Almost like an Aurora Borealis... Flowing, almost like strokes from an artists paintbrush... Or the rivers flowing downstream... Thank you, man.
I GET IT NOW 🤯 IT TOOK ME 25 YEARS LONG TO UNDERSTAND 😂😂😂
I’m right where you were when you did this video, only I’m using sanding drums. I haven’t invested in a set of Nova Points. Good vid!!!!
great fun video! Glad to see you reached over 1k subs! add one more to the list! I just bought a bunch of this stuff and am excited to try doing a sand or plaster casting to make a ring from a wax cut out. Loved the video and great to learn from your mistakes. haha! thanks!
Lots of mis-information here!
This Is dangerous stuff take it seriously, ima wear slides with socks while I heat up this silver. Always wear PPE Ya big dummy.
What year followers are going to be mad at you bro gold and silver when you temper them they are opposite of steel iron heat up gold silver immediately clinched makes them soft let cool down slowly make some hard
Learned the hard way , read everything ❤
I love Opal and have a few pieces and only been sad once but I put them in resin ❤
One thing that you should do is have up to 4 times as much as you expect use for most jewelry items.
You are supposed to use borax to treat your mold for silver and other metals.
All that safety and does it in his socks 😂
Oh you mean like how I cut opal 😂 don’t worry it’s just common opal
Are the socks and sandals part of the safety protocol
Maybe know what you are doing B4 making an instructional video.
965 love the info koooollll🎉
In my opinion the Ethiopian Opal is the prettiest of them all, and it IS the most durable. A drop test was conducted from 4 feet, and the Ethiopian opal is the only opal that did not crack.
Hey, do you recommend someone I can buy Walo opal from? Where do you buy yours from?
I love opals ! Do you sell ruff or like the ones you just cut I am a beginer ?
Thanks for the tip about butane rather than propane.
Very nice video. Your sound is great! I don't know if you are still cutting or not, but if you are, you should try Riley Gunn's dopping system. When I see that green wax these days, I shudder, thinking about how difficult and generally horrible dopping wax is. It use to be a catastrophe when a stone fell off of the dop stick. Now ... it very rarely happens and it's no big deal. If you let me know where to send it, I will send you one of Riley's kits. Life-changing!
I"m sorry that I did not know about your channel when you were still active! I have a lot of contact with Roy and some with Opal Mills. As a retired physician, as both a professor and in private practice, I know a little bit about careers and life. It's a no-brainer to pursue opportunities that will take you to your next level, but it is sometimes easy to just relax. The video teaser was great! The movie industry is tough to get into and to be a success in, but it seems like all "occupations" are difficult these days! If I can help you with opal or anything else, just let me know (on my website, there is a "contact" or "info" link. (It's just an email link). Good luck in your pursuits and continue to make important decisions wisely! Maybe I will see you one year in Tucson? don pulitzer
This is great! I’m about to try and would have made that pouring mistake. Thank you!
More breakin' vids, plz.
Love how he talks safety while wearing flip flops. Hilarious
Love your commentary. Had me rolling 😂
“Naturally by grace” hahaha
In untrained eye, they look exactly the same but once this video is over, you'll see a very large difference between them ❤
Did you season the crucible with borax?
you have to pretorch or preheat your mold too...if you pour into a cold mold itll solidify the silver instantly because it pulls the heat out of the silver
Thanks
big one
Not enough videos there cutting Boulder opal glad I came across this thank you
The natural opal looks better and more beautiful
Clarification, mmap pro is propane that has an additive in it. Mmap pro burns up to 130 degrees hotter than regular propane. Real Mapp gas hasn't been produced in, about, 16 years.
really helpful!
I totally love your invention with the cabbing machine 😊. Such a great idea 💡. I probably wouldn't be using the bir your using though, especially for Ethiopian opal. Its really soft and it doesn't take much to get through it. You can also crack or chip the stone with a bir like that. I would probably use that bir for really stubborn dirt with opal from Cooper Pedy, lightning ridge ect. Its up to you but I just wanted to give some advice.
i was just high enough for this video. 😻😻😻😻😻 5/5 😹😹😹😹😹 5/5
I am an opalholic!!!😂😍
It is NOT hard bezel ! It is NOT hard flux solder ! Although it is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BE nick...

Yo corto las gemas con hilo diamante circular no se vende de esta manera hay que soldar con aleación plata el corte no precisa de pulir ya que la guia de corte en resorte para la acción de banda continua el eje de tensión del hilo es el propio resorte eje tracción superior y eje neutro dentro de cubo enfriamiento puedo laminar piedras con un grosor de 1.mm sin dañarlas lo único complicado es la soldadura del acero Diamond corte la primera que fabrique era como sierra eje resorte pero gasta solo 4.cm y 20.cm para montar en la estructura el sistema de vía para la piedra tenia error de tolerancia y provocaba oscilaciones en el mismo corte con error de 2.mm en la nueva no hay error de alineamiento de cada nuevo corte similar al laminado laser pero con hilo de Diamond
