Great series! Awesome camerawork. Brilliant explanation. Thank you.
i love this video series! currently over seas buying some gems thinking about getting a few raw and trying my hand at cutting my own
Nice! Glad to hear, and thanks for watching! Yes, it's very rewarding seeing the finished product! Have fun on your buying trip!
MoreGems.com wish it was a trip im deployed lol would you be able to provide any advice on some Stones I have purchased if I were to send you some pictures?
moregems.com
We could try, send them over to Sales@MoreGems.com. Sometimes photos are difficult without actually seeing them in person. Just send them with any questions you may have and possibly the area you purchased them from. Put attn: Michael in the subject line and reference CZcams.
Thank you very much!
Amazing video series. Thank you so much in your generosity in sharing these and teaching those of us that are interested more about your art.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching! We'll continue to add more informational videos!
I just went to your website to see your work. Fantastic. I have always loved gems and wear fashion gems as much as possible--but I love the real ones most of all. I enjoyed your series of how tos. This is an art form I have wanted to explore. Thank you for your instructions.
I am very impressed with your work and teaching skills
Looking forward to watching the rest
Thank you so much for this free class
So great, im starting slowly as a hobbyist, with raw and cut Stones and still havent bought the machine, but watching tutorials every Night. Very informative, thank you.

Your welcome thanks for watching.
I find his work so interesting and awesome. Would love doing something like this for side work/hobby. Always thought I'd like doing stained-glass as well. I know how different they are, I realize. Both a form of art though.
Much respect on the camera work.
So patience and persistence is the name of the game here.
Hi i am Mr gohil and I am in big diamond company as a polish worker and I cut the many shapes in diamonds like brilliant round ,ovel,pear, cushion,heart shape, emerald I like your videos
Although I have done minor repairs on a few few diamonds I do not have the equipment or the knowledge to cut diamond. It would be nice to try it sometime.
Dropping literal gems of knowledge ty!!
I am thinking about getting into this.
Thank you so much for this! I just recently thought about picking this up as a hobby. This seems like something I can manage! :D
this is awesome. very intriguing how it's all actually made. i have SO much to do for my communication thesis, but still, aha gemstones are so cool
very precise cutting. Thanks for sharing
What a beautiful craft! And beautiful machinery at that! That faceting machine is a wonderful piece of engineering and looks like a joy to use. I've never thought twice about how jewels were cut, so this is fascinating and makes perfect sense. I would love to take this up at some point. It seems incredibly enjoyable. Steve seems like a great guy and I very much appreciate his, and everyone else's effort in putting together such a thorough and enjoyable series!

For some seconds i just thought it was Michael Fassbender speaking in the background! LOL! 😂
These videos are so awesome . i watch them over and over and over again . :) Question How did they cut gems and diamonds before all this machines and attachments?
Same concept, just a more primitive approach and it took much, much longer. I'm sure if you google searched it, you could find that information!
Great video sir.

Hi, I really want to get into faceting gems. This series is the best I've seen so far. The diagram shows angle 44.1 for the first cuts. How do you find that mark on the protractor. I may have missed that explanation on an earlier video. Ill go look again. Great job.
Ok, never mind. You do explain in detail in this and the next video.
Very good! Thanks Sir
Thank you,very educative.

It is a lot of time and effort cutting gem stones, how do you price your time and work?
how much does it cost to cut or polish a gemstone that weighs 20 grams
Thanks for the video!
Steve, I notice you use a rag to wipe the stone when inspecting the stone. How do you deal with cross contamination? Do you chuck it after each grit grade, wash it or what?
Good point, that is something we did not mention! Yes, we use a different rag with each step.
Do you chuck them or wash them and reuse? I ask because I was wondering if after washing it is good enough so you don't care which grit once clean, or you still have to make sure you use the rag for the same grit, just in case.
Either one would probably work, we usually just throw them out.
What if you're only using a protractor and no gauge? How do you know when to stop? A visual thing?
Boa noite um trabalho perfeito e maravilhoso parabéns like like like.
Hello Steve, Great video's for learning how to facet!What's the name brand of your machine?Thank you for effort and videos to help beginning factors!
Imperial is the manufacturer and it is an alpha tauras - Unfortunately, it is no longer manufactured. We have some recommended machines in the description of the introductory video. Thanks for watching, we're glad to help!
+MoreGems.com I have a Facetron. Was just curious because of the similarities.
Thank you for your reply.
Thank you very much.awesome
Thank you, Sir
like a BOSS!
These are amazing videos!!! has anyone tried cutting diamonds from these videos? Where can I get all the material that steve is using? and Steve, do you have a training school?
Hi! While we don't have a training school, we're releasing a new set of Videos today... in the description of the new videos there are links to some websites that offer the lapidary equipment I'm using. These videos will be live in about 20 minutes on our channel. Let us know if you have any other questions. You can see the new set of videos starting here: czcams.com/video/lSXDzKd9ggY/video.html
Sir, can i learn meetpoint faceting from a instruction book and a machine? Or do i need somebody that shows me how it is done? Thanks in advance.
Well these videos should give you a pretty good idea of how it's done. You can pick up a couple books we recommend and start faceting! There are many different machines on the market, but they all have the same concept. Look up the books: Meetpoint faceting by Long and Steele (Series of 7 books) and
Diagrams for Faceting by Glenn and Martha Vargas
Thanks for taking the time, i appreciate it.
Let us know if you have any other questions!
great videos for sure and thanks for sharing your knowledge. It looks like your grinder is a bit wobbly, can you still get accurate faceting with that in mind?
looks good ! thanks for sharing steve !
+Daniel B. Thanks for following our gem cutting tutorials!
MoreGems.com welcome steve ! Great info i truly appreciate you sharing thankyou
MY like 💎💍🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒😁
Did you get cut from shards of garnet/stone?
What is the device called which you are using to guide the faceting on the gem? I looked on your web site and there is not any descriptions
The mast and the faceting head. Is that what you are asking? Our website won't have any information on faceting machines or cutting. It is our online retail store where we sell our faceted gemstones and custom designed jewelry.
Thank you Sir..
Chris Abbott
Your welcome.
wow all those numbers in the diagram...it looks complicated :/
Leon Reaper Yes most find it difficult but not impossible to master. After 40 years it’s easier but I still can have issues with confusing the numbers
Any ideas where to gem some rough gems to start practicing ? Thanks for sharing your noble profession sir
New era gems, john garso, matthew milsted, joe henley
I was wondering if you could tell me what type of machine that is and how much it would cost for like the same set up that you have it just looks so effortless when you do it with all the little bells and whistles on the mast. it’s pretty cool I’d like to get something like that, but I wouldn’t even know where to begin so maybe you could help me out there I would appreciate that. Thank you.
That is an Imperial “ alpha Taurus “. No longer built. I will have this machine for sale in the next month. I currently use an ultra tec v5.
I have a digital arm that I just bought but I can’t figure out how to get it to zero it says nothing about it in the instructions. I should probably call up the company.
What would you suggest be a good I mean I’m just a beginner. I do have a fastening machine already. It’s one of those $250 ones that I bought off of eBay I mean it works good for me you know but as I get better, I wanna get better machinery, so I can have better gemstones what would you suggest?
Thanks for getting back to me by the way I really appreciate that
The captions cover up what you're trying to show us
You could be able to press the CC button to turn that off.
i can see the stone
the position
Hey !! Thanks a lot for your help and video !!! I was wondering what is your head cuter ( I don’t know the word in English) but the red Machine you use thanks a lot for your response 😇
The faceting machine is an Imperial Alpha Taurus. Unfortunately no longer manufactured.
😍👍
Hello sir, Is Design angle and Critical angle are same ?
Where to get that cutting Instruction manual, is that from book ?
Hi VASU -- look up the books:
- "Meetpoint Faceting", by Long and Steele (Series of 7 books)
&
- "Diagrams for Faceting", by Glenn and Martha Vargas
How much this machine cost? And name and address pls
This machine is no longer available. I currently recommend the ultra tek v5. Cost new is about $5200. ultratec-facet.com
what is the cost of faceting machine and all accessories and glue etc?
About $1,000 for the accessories, then the price will depend on the machine you purchase. If you look at the text description of our introductory video (czcams.com/video/w6FEaxgSNgg/video.html) you will see a detailed list of equipment & accessories that we recommend.
What is the brand name of the adjustable 96 scale milling tool
Tri-Force Blades
The faceting machine is an Imperial Alpha Taurus
@@Moregems thank you
Спасибо!!!
+Zinaida Molcanova You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
+MoreGems.com I learn from you
Hi Steve what brand of diamond lap are you using? Thank you Wendy
+Wendy Purdie I buy the metal laps from jadecarver.com and the nubond laps are by Raytech available at kingsley north in Michigan.
+MoreGems.com thank you Steve.
What is your favorite gem ?
Steve's favorites include Malaya garnet, Tanzanite (because he gets to go to the mines and loves seening the results from heating the diesil color to the beautiful violet/blue color they turn into), and the newly found Ethiopian Opal. How about you *Austin? What is your favorite?
MoreGems.com I have a lot of favorites one being the white pearl the amethyst the red garnet the lapis lazuli and last the peridot from Pakistan and it's Austin btw
All beauties **Austin! :D
Isn't it obvious 😂
what gem is this?
+northx100 This is a citrine.
lol If you watch the captions at 28:45 they say "slug bitch"!
i can't hear u
+Donna McKoy Make sure the video players volume is all the way up, try different speakers, or wear headphones. A couple parts may be difficult to hear due to the machine running with some speakers.
Fewer comments hah!!???
Need to show you something.
Give contact. Thanks
My God what a primitive way of cutting a stone not wander they are so expensive Where is the technology for gems stone cutting is only all going to the mobile phones
Bom🌏🌎
It looks like a great video...unfortunately I can hardly hear what your trying to tell me.
Hey Robert, try headphones or different speakers. The audio in this series was not the greatest, as it was our first attempt to make an instructional video and can be difficult to hear if the speakers you're using aren't loud enough. We will be doing another soon with Steve cutting a large natural colored blue topaz from Brazil and will have improved audio.
You can also check out a more recent video we did, which the audio is a bit better, but just not as in depth as this video series. czcams.com/video/9uuP9YCJzNs/video.html&lc=z23ydttyyqrht1nqg04t1aokgpdz1e1a0ztrntkyaxdybk0h00410
I could hear just fine. :) @@Moregems
Give me a Stone of this yellow. I live in Brazil and my dream is to have one of those stones. could give me, I can not buy. because I'm very poor
We can hardly hear you.
