[@johnsaucerhunter]

Hey There OYR. Really enjoyed your 'romp' in Facet-land. For someone that claims this is his first go at it, I'd say your waaaay ahead of the game. To quote Yoda.. "Impressed I am as the force is strong in you." Great Job Dude!

[@offyarocka]

That's really awesome of you to say John, Thank You 🙏🙏🙏 I've been really interested in faceting for a while now, but this is the very first time I have used a machine. Sooooo Addictive 😜😜😜

[@JnVrockhounding]

Nice job from my perspective.

[@offyarocka]

Much appreciated ✌️😎✌️

[@RufotrisRootedRockhound]

Oh man I want to facet so bad! This was great work man! That came out beautiful and I bet it feels amazing to have made that yourself?! 🤘 rock on man

[@offyarocka]

Faceting is soooo very ADDICTIVE hahahahahaha When you pop the rock off the dop and clean it up to reveal an amazing light show......DANG MAN its a real buzz for sure ✌🤪✌

Wow! Thats so awesome! It turned out absolutely gorgeous! And this is your first SRB? Youre kidding, right? Thats incredible! What material are you cutting! And learning to facet is an overstatement! Learned to cut is more like it! What an awesome job! The stone looks incredible! Thanks and not only are you cutting like a pro you first time, but you do it at a speed that the flash, would be proud of! 😂 Lol! Great job OYR!❤

[@offyarocka]

Thanks Lisa 🤩🤩🤩The material is glass, but it does cut nicely. Going to do a few more glass ones before moving onto synthetics like CZ 🙂🙃🙂

[@largent45]

@@offyarocka that's amazing and glass being relatively soft scratches so easily, but but you handled it like a pro! Awesome job!

[@pkgoldopalhunting]

nice cutting man

[@offyarocka]

Cheers ✌😊✌

[@outdooradventureswithfayde6832]

Really good job faceting ! You made that look easy. Hard to believe was your first crack at that cut. Again, great job, man. Enjoyed the video 🤘😁

[@offyarocka]

Cheers Shawn, its kind of like following a cooking recipe in a way. Once you understand the instructions/cutting diagram its relatively easy, especially if you are using a good machine. Really glad you liked this video 🤘😎🤘

[@outdooradventureswithfayde6832]

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Great job, Mahnee! You've got to be totally stoked on that outcome. Good onya for taking a video, I didn't have the where-with-all to do so with mine AND it didn't turn out anywhere near as good. You're off to the races, can't wait to see what you do next, cheers!

[@offyarocka]

[@offyarocka]

Heaps of fun for sure, Thanks for stopping by 😎

[@huntingrocks]

Man that is cool , thats one of the things I want to learn so bad , I want to make dice , which I'm guessing wont be nearly as complicated as what you did , that piece of glass turned out crazy good .

[@offyarocka]

Cheers man, i highly recommend having a go. Its lots of fun and once you understand the cutting diagrams its not as complicated as you'd think. ✌😎✌

[@CarlDi3trich]

I was about to ask what machine you were cutting on. :)

[@offyarocka]

Not the vevor that's for sure hehehehehehehe Im using one of the Hall Xtra's that's at my gem club. Really super nice and simple machine to learn on

[@MrChubbyHubby.]

Awesome job Off Ya Rocka, how long did it take you to? Thank you for showing us and great music to watch by.

[@offyarocka]

Cheers!!! I think it was about 10hrs a side ish 🤔🤔🤔 Glad you liked it Mr CH

[@ROCKINWHEELERS]

Is that a GEMMASTA FACETING MACHINE YOU USING?

[@ROCKINWHEELERS]

If I/WE were to get Rocks from Down Under, I/we came across Prospector Paul- Dang he sells Gorgeous Rocks from Down Under Mate!!!

[@offyarocka]

I have bought rocks from Paul a few times, even got a parcel on its way as we speak hehehehe His rocks are awesome, he is very reasonably priced and he does ship over seas too. I high recommend having a chat with him if you do want some amazing Western Australian rocks

[@ROCKINWHEELERS]

@@offyarocka I will be Ordering from Prospector Paul. He definitely appears to be an outstanding Bloke. and gave me his email. Shipping shouldn't be that bad, but hey Mate it be worth it ALL IN ALL. DANG THE ROCKS!!!
