Step by Step Of How To Cut Professional Quality Fordite Cabochons ***MUST SEE***# 2

[@maryannkom299]

I’m fascinated by this stuff it’s really nice that’s it’s being repurposed as jewelry keychain, etc., instead of sitting in a landfill contaminating the ground. It’s beautiful .

[@christinapiacenza7244]

So grateful for you sharing this! I just bought some Fordite and Surfite and had no idea what to do with it, so beautiful! Thank you!! 🙏🏼

Hi Kelly, what blade do you use for cutting fordite.

[@doledesigns5938]

I think I’m ready to make some fordite Cabochons now!! Thank you again!

[@canadiangemstones7636]

You do beautiful work!

[@roxiedoni]

Hi can I buy some rough?

[@Nancy4133nope]

Great Kelly really liked it and it came at a perfect time I am about to cab one today lol you're awesome as always.

[@patrickmcgovern676]

I do all my fordite by hand. My cutting hack saw sending Palm sander and the polishing and further sanding. I do all by hand as well. Is there any info you could give me on bringing out a shine with them by hand. I get some really good piece's and I experiment allot. So please any info would be awesome. Thank you also give a dryer sheet a try with doing the last hand polish on your cabs. Pretty interesting result. Thanks

Fantastic!!

[@stevekotz5986]

Nice work, like your technique and your Detroit Agate stash!

[@sniffles666]

Thanks kelly.

[@Glennfariss]

Do you sell rough fordite? I’m interested in large quantities. Thanks

[@williamcourage7149]

Thanks I've been experimenting with Fordite and have learned a bunch from your presentation. My question is what do I buff the car polish with?

[@maryannkom299]

Turtle wax? But seriously I know nothing about anything, but it kind of makes sense.

[@joanramonborra7380]

Were can i by an Agate like this Please?

[@claygimbel6979]

I have a few good slabs of legitimate fordite. I work for a major brand automotive builder. Strait from the shop

[@wendyshaw6985]

Nice

[@fleurdelifejewelry1050]

Do you use water when you polish or just the diamond on a dry pad?

[@vickiwhite725]

WOW that is gorgeous!! What does one do with it now. Make it into a pendant... necklace?

[@samw6048]

Wow, I know these saws are not as dangerous as a wood saw, but you ought to be using a push stick anyway. Aren't you afraid of grinding your fingers up? Why don't you use dop sticks on those blanks before you grind? It makes it a heck of a lot easier to handle too.

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Sam W - Zero risk to fingers from a diamond blade. No teeth.

Hmm..we've owned a collision shop for many years. Our stands that hold fenders, bumbers and the like into our heated paint booth. Have collected thick chunks of paint through the years. If I take and Cab these. I really dont think I can call this true fordite. What in the world would it identify as?

[@cooldirt2919]

Saw your video on I.D. ing Fordite. So it wouldnt be of ideal quality, but I may try it anyway. If it works it would make amazing gift pieces for members of our family own business.

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Cool Dirt hammer some off. If it has cool bright colours, it might be as nice as fordite. Send pix!

[@juliebuell8816]

Call it collisionite

[@johnxina6885]

Why are your hands so shaky?

[@InfiniteAdam]

I was hoping to see each step including the polishing. I will keep looking for a video that is actually complete with each step shown. Thanks for showing most of it and the tips.

[@thelapidarychannel4770]

If you need any help with the cutting let me know and I'll try to help you out, dear :) As for polishing it's a process that I developed over a long time and I don't typically share my specific method but you could use a normal cab machine up to 8k than a car polish on a canvas lap or got to 600 to 1200 and switch to a buffer as well depending on what kinda finish you trying to achieve. :)
