Kia ora Campbell Marvellous set up. Not far from retiring and dream of learning Pounamu carving..... Hope to inspire my little mokopuna....

No idea what these are, what material or their meanings but regardless your chairmanship is incredible keep up the good work

Nice color,I have a greenstone slab but why is it very dark and seems magnetic?

Beautiful! How long to do one of this?

Great you sorted out the rotation for your pendants. Beautiful piece of stone.

Awesome workshop bro! Lots of great ideas, good to see all the different tools and work stations.

What a great set up! A lot of thought has gone in to that!

Nga mihi for the tour you should be proud! I’ve got the Hei tiki book on my bedside table ready to read too. Love the idea of putting a cloth in the bucket to capture the ‘dust/stone residue’ before being sucked up in the pump , I’ll keep that in mind when creating my space. Where do you purchase your cord from?

Nice shop

Awesome Studio Tour!!!!!

Campbell, can you do a video of a little tour of the workshop space? I'm going to be setting up my own here soon. Curious about your space.

Love the colours on this one

Not relevant to this post, but did you see the recent news releases that Tahutahi pounamu is for sale? Apparently, it is not usually available. I thought you might be interested....

Beautiful work

That's cool as ❤. Love it

Can you tell the what type of pounamu without cutting into the rock

I also buy pounamu from the Tauwhare. It's nice to know that the pounamu is authentic and sourced from the kaitiaki of the Arahura river

Beautiful Pounamu brother, im trying to find someone who can re-lash mine the string snapped and I live in Australia now so can't just go get it done easily 😅

Beautiful material, it looks like cloud formations. Thanks for showing the opening of that amazing stone.

De esa roca te van a salir algunas piezas , que roca es ? Yo diría que parece serpentina , seguro que salen unas hermosas piezas

You are truly blessed ❤️

Nice one!

Beauty! I hope I win that one!❤👍🙏

Wow,Awesome!

Thanks, my sons Hei Toki somehow unravelled itself and he wouldn't wear it until it was fixed. I got it back together following your tutorial.

It is very beautiful 😍

I love it Campbell. Merry Christmas to you & your family!

Simple ,sencillo , transmite elegancia , ese tono verde queda genial

Looks cool campbell merry Christmas 🎅

I see it as the inertia of the stone, try using a shorter bite on the cord, or stiffen the cord. Good luck. I have the same problem with a turntable that sets under my work. I suspect backlash in the gears.

The conditions of where the nephrite lies has a major impact on the rate of oxidisation. Buried in river gravels or beach sand preserves fairly well (as well as the abrasive movement helping to keep them clean as you say). Sitting above ground exposed to air causes faster oxidisation. But the real killer is dirt, especially highly acidic or alkaline ground.

Well done. Next I want to watch how do braiding.

G'day! Very grateful for this video as well for the others! Could you tell me where to buy these sliced Pounamu please? It would be amazing to try cutting my own Hei Matau.

Hey brother is the lashings and whippings of the cord is that traditional Māori style, because I’m thinking of making wood pendants and want to string them up like you do??

Is the rind another type of material? I sometimes find local agates and chert that have rinds that are softer than the silicate core inside

Another great video. I’m learning a lot about jade & ponamu! Is there any uses for the slurry? Is is no doubt a fine dust & being silicon based is probably not healthy to breathe in. I was wondering if it could be mixed in a resin?

Thank you. That was very informative. And asked questions I've had for a long time. But leads me to another one. will the pieces that are carved oxidize over time? Or will the oil from skin keep it from oxidizing?

Really interesting. Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎅🏻

Mere bro, it's screaming to be made into one of them in my opinion, offcuts for a toki and matching earrings 💪😉

What you say about thick or hard pieces is true. I have good success with a set of 80 grit diamond burrs you can get from harbor freight tools. Spears and round burrs, but they do heat up, even with a steady flush of water and once to diamond is gone, you might as well try another bit or take a nap, as you wont be drilling holes. Thank you for sharing your craft! Have you done a video on the lashing process?

2 videos in a day is a blessing! Kia ora

Awesome advice bro, appreciate you sharing your matauranga

Thanks for the great videos! I’m in Cowell South Australia where they have Australia’s biggest Jade (nephrite) deposits. Learning heaps from your videos about how to work this extraordinary material!

Awesome man thanks. I'm new to all this so have no idea what I'm doing lol

This is what I'm after!! Yess

Hi.very good🙏💜⛄🍁

❤Hi goodmoning. i am thailand i am doing rond. You💜🙏⛄

Thanks for the info. Where do you get your fabulustre from? I watch a bunch of your videos cause I've been playing around with pounamu offcuts as a wee hobbie. Also what brand of demel and burrs do you use?

Thanks for the advice. I emailed you recently. Do you use water or dry with the sticks and cloth?

Thanks for sharing Campbell
