Thank you for the kind words. Hope your project goes well. 🎉🎉🎉Happy New Year🎉🎉🎉

If you find they need more flex room then go ahead and cut away. There are many ways to accomplish what we need. Do you show your work anywhere? Would love to see it.

@@lapidarydave Hi my friend. Have a Happy New Year.

Super. I was so frustrated as well. Glad the fix worked.

@@haroldmartin8009 thanks. I will eventually get it on a proper stand that fits my needs.

Your welcome.

@@aef125 thank you.

Thanks. Everyone has stuff to deal with. You just gotta keep on truckin'.

@@idiotburns hope you had a great birthday.

@@JamesSpesock-xj6vr thank you.

JamesSpesck-xj6vr you are the lucky winner. Thanks for entering. You can contact me at [email protected] I will need your address for shipping the prize.

@@vernontafte1718 you’re welcome.

Thanks. Just a bit of dedication is all it takes. Plus lots of failures along the way.

They do now.

I have a love-hate relationship with this one. I have had to work on the pump a few times. That is life I guess. The cans are tough to get out of this one as the top gasket leaks. That being said it does work good. The problem, as I see it, is that since the saw oil tank is so large that it does not clean all of the oil. Some just doesn't seem to get all of the oil. Maybe I need two on this one????? My personal mistake with this install was placing the unit too far from the front corner. Due to me being in a wheelchair it is very difficult to get to. But I would still recommend them.

@@DirtCleanerVideos thank you very much for responding. I appreciate that. Thank you.

@@toreegriggers2815 glad you enjoyed the video. If a piece was glued back on to your sphere the surface feel shouldn’t be affected. But if, let’s say, resin was added then there is a possibility that would feel different. I wish I could look it over.

Most are made on shaping machines. They are like a rock lathe. They could also be made by doing lots of hand work. Anybody else have any ideas?

Thanks.

@DirtCleanerVideos thanks for uploading. I like your delivery. Please keep them coming. I subbed right away

@@twildabuckingham working on a few more vids. One with a small give away. Thanks for subscribing.

@@mesolsot Super! Glad it worked for you.

Grand Canyon Onyx. I do love this stuff.

How is the blade stuck? In a rock mid cut? Or is the blade stuck on the shaft? Maybe keep the belt on and squeeze it with a wood clamp. That might keep it from moving.

@@DirtCleanerVideos yeah stuck to the shaft, I need to replace the bearing housing and possibly the shaft. What do you mean use the piece of wood ? I have heard of the belt trick . Thanks again for the advice

@@Reflect744 Jam a piece of wood against the blade. Works well on a wood saw and somewhat ok on a rock blade.

@@BlckCloud73 they will hit you repeatedly.

Not sure what you are looking for.

Dang. Fortunately the oil will float on the water. Hope it didn’t overflow!!!! And the rock sludge should have fallen to the bottom. Use a scoop and put the oil in a bucket. Dump the water and then scoop out the rock slop from the bottom.

Interesting. Glad you figured it out. Hope everybody reads your comment.

Glad you are out there giving it a try. I wish the best for you.

Thanks. I really appreciate the time you took.

Thanks for the feedback. It is an easy fix.

I know exactly. It was purchased June 18, 1964 direct from Frantom Lapidary Equipment Co. $267 plus $30 freight. It came with the wrong blade, it was sent with a 16". I know this as all of the original documentation came with the saw.

Are you asking about the stone not moving correctly within the three cups? Get them as level as possible. Find the right pressure. Make sure your preform is as round as you can make it. Anything else, just ask.

I think I like working with rocks a lot more than I enjoy fixing tools. Thanks for the kind words.

@@gibbysgirl good safety tip.

This was the first time I used this camera. I couldn’t ask him to do it over. He dislocated his shoulder and after a break in the ambulance, popping it back in place, he did the jump.

Super! I was surprised how easy of a fix this is. I use mine often and without issue.

Thanks. There is a need for oddball repair videos.

I have seen something like that too. A Boric Acid (not Borax) mixture is what they can drink and bring back to the hive to kill the others.

I wish the camera could tell you how yummy it is. Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words. I gotta get a refractometer. I have actually started building a horizontal hive (a couple of years ago) and hope it will be easier to manage from a chair.

@@writingisfun9842 I love watching the honey bees.

I had up to 6 before. And was building a yard for ten more. I would love to see how you handle yours. Frame grabber is going to be my next purchase.

Thank you! Cheers!

Will have plenty of that liquid gold soon.

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video. The motors are 105.7 rpm motors. They come from old, outdated, copy machines. They work great and occasionally are available through eBay or other places.

@@randyhead6481 everyone should have a beekeeper in their circle.

@@DirtCleanerVideos I'd keep them myself but I'm allergic and I need another expensive hobby like I need another hole in my head!🤪

@@randyhead6481 My hobby list is overflowing. let the non-allergic folks keep the bees. No need to risk too much.

I tumble many of them and others I sell occasionally at the Moose Lake Agate Days or in the next few weeks I will open the shop of for an annual sale.

@@DirtCleanerVideos Do you make an announcement on the channel before the open shop day? Wish I still lived in Wisconsin, but Tennessee is not too far.

@@anndevivo4766 Will definitely post it on my page.

I had not thought of that.
