I agree with Nate and it's the inspiration for me to give it a try. I've never done one but recently bought a new 8" flat lap from jsgems so the excuse is gone. (Great machine, great price and great shipping if you read this John!)

Right now, I can only guess the work that goes into that type of precision. But if I look at a few more of yours, I am sure I will feel the need to try it myself. Then I am sure I will *reallllly* appreciate the work involved.

They are phenomenal.

kjk: looking for suggestions on final polish for Fluorite. Been sitting on these gems for a while because I don't want to bust them up like my first try. Have been leaning towards TV-5 with #61 Rapid Polish, ceramic, 1/2 cup water, TV-5 approx 60v (1/2 speed) Nov 6, 2024 22:21:39 GMT -5

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5
