The discussion of why so many windowed stones are still being cut was interesting. Love hearing your insights , thanks again for sharing your knowledge!

[@SnowTiger45]

Either European cutters simply don't understand "optics", Refractive Index's and Critical Angles etc OR they think the best way is simply to maximize Carat weight.

There's some really valuable information here. I have been faceting for quite a few years but I tend to take way too long on each stone. Watching you do this so fast is very eye opening. Thanks for the video! Also, I just bought your book last week after the interview with Lapidary Dave. I can't wait to check it out!

[@JustinKPrim]

Thank you. It was fun to hang with Dave live and fun to do this one too. Tucson is a great week but exhausting too.

I love this! The before/after side by side shot shows the window closing perfectly. And your style really highlights the different approach to faceting stones between the industrial folks and the amateurs. And the Stirling machine looks great. Thanks for posting!

[@JustinKPrim]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

Justin, love that you had the courage to put out a warts-and-all vid with all the rough and ready stuff that goes along with being a day-to-day commercial cutter. I loved that you just said Whoops, I dopped it on the wrong side and I'll just start over! Nice demo and hope that the guys who are cutting all those bellied stones we recut don't take it to heart too soon!

[@daniczec]

Very informative and entertaining. Thank you for posting Justin!

[@DuckDodger701]

Thanks for the video. I loved your book as well. Super easy to ready and understand.

[@JustinKPrim]

Thank you. Mission accomplished!

Man I wish I was there. Nice video. I am still looking for a good machine. I have a Lee Lapidary but I dont know if it is all there. I can not find anything about it no where. No pictures or anything.

[@JustinKPrim]

If you’ve got the handpiece, the hanger, the table adapter, the transfer block, some dops, and of course the base, then you should have everything for that machine

[@rhondajones1313]

@@JustinKPrim Well I am hoping I got everything. I am waiting on my dobbing heater and pot to get here.I am still waiting on my other rock to come in. Mine is a mast machine. I would like one like yours but that is going to take some time to get being that I am on disability but I am hoping. Take care and Thanks

Where do you get diamond powder for a $1-2?

[@JustinKPrim]

Sachi, World Jewelry Tools, and even a shop in London that sells natural diamond powder for about $50 for 50 cts

[@qwerty3663]

Oh so you mean per carat and not for the bottle.@@JustinKPrim

[@JustinKPrim]

@@qwerty3663 I think Sachi and World Jewelry Tools sell bottles of 10 carats for about $1.50 or something like that
