Thank you guys for adding the sub titles to this, i watched a few months back and got a little lost. 🥰🥰🥰
Yeah I wanted to watch this for so long but there are no subtitles so we took a week and went back and forth and got it done. Very happy to be able to watch this and share this to the English speaking community.
Wow! Such good photography of the stones! And it's great to see the equipment :)
Thanks for the instructive video about history in Europe, I hope that the situation will improve at least a little in the future
Awesome video, Thanx for bringing it to our attention
I’m fortunate to be proficient in French. My girlfriend says it’s difficult to watch a read subtitles at the same time. Great video though. I think the old school French jampeg cutters are more instinctive cutters. Where we rely on diagrams and angles; they just cut a stone by sight and what the stone gives them. Still they achieve the same results of what I guess we call precision cutting. These are true craftsmen. Brilliant 👌❤️
Agreed though there is a lot of training required for them to be able to cut by eye like that. But by the time anyone is giving them work, you’re right, the instincts are in full gear. I hope to get there one day. A true craftsman, as you said. Thanks for watching.
Joyeux noël Justin , i have seen this vidéo already , very happy you show this one . historie testimony from the close past . Love you work and everything . Stéphane .
Thank you
As a long time stone collector i really admire these people and their work/ Recently i got a dremel to try it myself but it is not sufficient enough to cut hard stones and facets ofcourse
Merci du partage

Funny to hear the original French Jura accent.
Oui oui. My mom’s from France but never learned to speak much.
Very interesting and motivating. The stones they cut with the Jampeg system are just amazing. It makes me wake up on a lot of evidence ! I think I need a very accurate machine and bla bla....when I see how he practiced the Dop transfer 😂 just amazing. The only sad thing in this video is at the end... that's the famous and stupid French thinking 😅...they have replaced that knowledge to pretend being competitive with Asia by cutting synthetic stones at low prices. So Frenchs didn't get the opportunity as swiss did when the Quartz watch was recovering the entire world, Swiss people said : we can't compete on accuracy at low price but we can compete on complexity and beautiful handmade products.
