Making agate jewelry with a stone I found in a Scottish river

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
#Silversmithing, #lapidary, #relaxing

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.

I was impressed with this whole video

[@Faodail925]

A good bit of awesomeness here! Nice work

Thank you very much 😃

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 ❤️🎸🏏

[@Faodail925]

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 🥵

[@philippriestman8516]

Nicely made! I learned something here, so thanks man and a happy Xmas

[@Faodail925]

Really happy you enjoyed it and learned something 🙌 cheers buddy and happy Xmas to you too!

[@JustOneKnight]

Beautiful . Thats an art i wished i could have learned

[@Faodail925]

Thank you 😊, if I can do it anyone can just takes time and practice to learn

[@canadiangemstones7636]

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

[@Faodail925]

Difficult fishing in summer mainly very small trout but in autumn with some flooding brings up bigger fish plus the occasional salmon
Trouble is because it’s central Scotland it’s been overfished for decades

[@jaderene]

Another beautiful piece!!!! I absolutely love watching you searching for gemstones and crystals and then going back to your studio to make Jew out of them!!!!🤯🤍💕

[@Faodail925]

Thank you 😊 really happy you’re enjoying the videos, plenty more on the way 🙌

[@jaderene]

Amazing work mate

Cheers buddy 🙌

[@stephenlong1536]

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]

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

[@erizabesu87]

Amazing work! I just wonder did u glue it in?
I am just a beginner 😊

[@Faodail925]

Yes this is traditional jewelry inlay

[@igorkostiyn6435]

Привіт з УкраЇни! Дуже гарна робота та спосіб життя, як і у мене! Успіхів у творчості та житті!

[@Faodail925]

Thank you from Scotland 🙌

[@cassysisler3067]

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]

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

[@upsidediy3945]

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]

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