  • Join me on an adventure at a local river to look for agate gemstones, then see how I make a piece of jewellery with my finds,
    Rockhounding, lapidary, jewelry making and nature are some of the things you will find in this video, I try to portray this in a relaxing and enjoyable way that’s interesting to watch and also informative
    Do please sit back and relax as you watch the process of turning a rock into jewellery from beginning to end

    Wish i was with you. I miss the UK. I live in the desert and it'll be 105 today. Or 107. Whatever.
    That agate is superb. Your metal work is, too. TFS ❤️🎸🏏

      Thank you, and I feel your pain I used to work in the Australian desert, on a particularly hot day I watched soda cans explode when left in direct sunlight! I never experienced heat like that 🥵

    Terrific vid! That water looked trouty, fun to explore with a fly rod, carefully examining every gravel bar.

    Stunning video start to finish, your garden /workshop and country side are all amazing,
    Your creativity, vision and skill are off the chart, even the final reveal, superbly crafted, exquisite prices placed in cracks and hanging on a log,
    Just amazing.
    And, I'm totally relaxed after watching and in awe.
    Edited to add
    I forgot to say thank you

    Just found your channel and I absolutely love it. Where did you get your equipment? I'm just starting my journey but finding it difficult to find lapidary tools in the uk

    • @Faodail925
      @Faodail925  6 месяцев назад

      Thank you very much 😊, in regards to equipment in the uk that’s the hard part, some of the machines I built myself not so hard with some tools and know how, some I bought second hand from searching gumtree, eBay and marketplace over the years
      I believe a guy called Brandon Edward’s (hint of stone) of Facebook makes a range of units for sale here in the uk. But generally the uk has a severe lack of lapidary equipment available, good tutorials on RUclips of home built equipment

    Ive seen a similar thing. Someone was looking for agates, and passed on a basket ball sized rock, with quarts golf balls in it.

    • @Faodail925
      @Faodail925  Год назад

      Ahh yes this sounds like some agate nodules embedded in the volcanic host rock, some are almost perfectly round just like golf balls!

    Is there a finishing polish/wax you find better than others? I’ve tried ZAM but I find it extremely hard and doesn’t give the shine.. thanks in advance, your work is beautiful!

    • @Faodail925
      @Faodail925  Год назад +1

      For silver/metal I use jewellers rouge and for agate/stone I use cerium oxide,
      I herd zam works well for some stone but not all, I haven’t used it before
