- I am so greatful to be a part of #makerschallenge5 - search that hashtag to see all the other channels, which I will also link below, as well as my usual referral links and discount links.
I got the opportunity to join this challenge to get myself to make something new! I used my artwork as an inspiration for the project which led me to my final decision of what to make.
Please let me know if you have any feedback or tips for lapidary work down in the comments. I may do a video based on responses. Let me know if I inspired you to make something new!!?!?

Fantastic video! That tiger iron though!🤣 I love the idea of making something like handles for tools; it's the kind of thing you spend a ton of time with so that personal touch is something you get to see regularly! Love me a project with utility 😂 fantastic work and thank you so much for being a part of the challenge!
Thank you so much for inviting me. Not going to lie I had a project prepared last year in case I got the invite that I never ended up making and might have to do in a future one 😁. Tiger iron and tiger eye is something I don’t usually like to work, and not just cause of the mess. But I’m happy with that piece and how it came out!
Bravo, Bravo, 👏🏻 Chris, it is the way to go, your art is beautiful, you need beautiful tools to make it! Thank you for sharing
❤️ thank you Sonya! I appreciate the kind words!
Nothing better than making your own customized handles for your tools
Indeed! It feels great!
That was great. What a way to make your tools extraordinary and so personal. Love it! Thanks for participating in the Maker's Challenge.
Thank you so much! I have already been using one of the tools to help wire wrap! It was a lot of fun to get to take place in the makers challenge!!
Well done! Thank you for being a part of The Maker’s Challenge. Such a cool project.
I’m so appreciative about being able to join! I have watched every year in the background and I always enjoy everyone’s project! Thanks for watching!
Awesome makers challenge project! They turned out beautifully! 😊
Thank you! Was a lot of fun!
OUTSTANDING YOUNG SIR!!! BEAUTIL!!!
Appreciate that! Was fun trying something new!
Absolutely beautiful! Great project!
Thank you! 😁
Wow what a great and beautiful idea to modify your tool handles. Soooo Cooool Tjanks for stepping up and out of your comfort zone.😊👍
Thanks for that! I’m about to go even further and start trying some smithing type stuff!!
@@RufotrisRootedRockhound that will be neat.
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Outstanding design, form, and function! Esthetically gorgeous!
Thank you very much! It’s something I’m going to continue doing including making some for other artists now upon request!
@@RufotrisRootedRockhound Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: You should... you really hit on something here! You could make designer handles for all types of fine art tools!
I'm 61 and I remember doing linoleum block carving and printing in High School as a freshman and sophomore. I LOVED it! And I loved your work, both the linoleum and lapidary tools. (Especially the dandelions!) Great job on your Maker's Challenge!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much! I will be happy to use the carving handle soon to make more blocks and put out some videos on it! I have some a while back of me doing the prints I showed. Mostly shorts I think and one or two videos.
Those handles came out looking fantastic.
Thank you! Considering the small issues I had I’m very happy with how they look. I still may end up coating the crazy lace to help hide the super glue holding the cracks together. But for a rushed project unlike any other I have tried I’m happy!
What a great idea. The handles are beautiful and the craftsmanship is excellent. Thank you.
I appreciate you watching! They were a lot of fun to make! I can’t wait to do more!
That was a really cool project. I didn't really understand what linoleum cutting was until you explained it better at the end of the video. I like your artwork, and those new tool handles are just awesome.
Thank you! I had explained it at the start initially but I had cut out a lot of footage haha. I have some older videos and shorts that show the block printing process start to finish. But I may be doing some new ones very soon here now that I made these!
Very cool Chris and what a great idea/project!
Thank you John! It was a lot of fun. Wait for the bonus footage if I decide to share it all it’s over 100 minutes long hahah. But that’s before speeding up polishing sections. And like 15 minutes of me just filming the handles done lol.
All three handles are gorgeous, but I'm in love with the red crazy lace agate! They look like they would be a pleasure to use.
Thank you very much! I am going to have to make more and maybe even sell some in the future!
Very nice. Creative. Thank you ❤😊❤
I appreciate it! Was a lot of fun to do something new.
Oh wow ur artwork😍😍. And tools came up really awesome ❤. Love the different rocks 👍👋🇫🇮
Thank you! I will be doing some of the block printing art and carving on some upcoming live streams so people can hang out and chat!
love the thought of the tool being a crafted piece of art itself, customizing your whole creative world ! nice work !
Thank you! I do plan to keep making more of my own tool handles now that I jumped into it.
This was a great video! Enjoyed the premier! This was definitely inspiring and gets me thinking how I, too, can challenge myself. Thanks, Chris! They turned out really nice! I really like your artwork, too. 🤘😁
Thank you! I think I may have cut the part where I talked about doing some of the lino cutting live to show the process.
I love the stones you chose for your handles!! I don't think anyone else has such beautiful tools to work with and I bet they feel much nicer to hold!! Such a wonderful project 💗💗
Wow thank you! How nice, I do love them a lot! But I’m humble and I feel I have seen better and can do better 😁. But by all means I do love these ones, both for appearances and because they are my first! Thank you for watching! I hope you find that you enjoy my other videos too, I’m working on many more lapidary projects right now too.
Amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Hey Melinda! Thanks for watching!!
WOW . . Loved the way you made such a beautiful hand grip.. Thanks for taking us with you while you made a fun grip tool.. A specialty tool lets you work with skill & precision.. The Agate is so lacy.& perfect..
Thank you! I have been using one of the tools for wire wrapping already! I really enjoy using them because I made them, feels great! I appreciate you watching and your kind words. I hope you enjoy my other videos too, I have a few new ones coming out soon, I took a small break from posting videos for busy life stuff. 😁🤘🪨
That’s creative and so beautiful. ❤
Thank you! It was a lot of fun to make and I think I’ll be using them on a live stream doing my art!
Sweet!!!
🤘
Nice really like making something useful and beautiful.
Thank you!
Love that crazy lace. They all turned out great.
Thank you very much!
Cool beans! Well done!!!
Thank you, and welcome. That’s a new name I don’t recognize, I appreciate you watching!
@@RufotrisRootedRockhound My name is Greek, I'm not, there is a story behind it
They turned out beautifully, Your art work is great....so talented ❤
Thank you so much! I appreciate that. Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoy my other stuff too. I do occasional lives, tomorrow I’ll be doing some lapidary stuff live!
Amazing video!!! They came out beautifully, the tiger's iron is absolutely gorgeous!!!😮. Thank you for explaining The Makers Challenge. Its my first year watching and i thought it was a competition. This is so much fun!!! Your arts amazing.
Thank you so much! It’s my first year being part of it and I hope to continue the challenge in future years! I also thought it was a competition and many of us joke about the winners in our opinions still 😝
@@RufotrisRootedRockhound I don't feel so stupid now!! 😆 🤣. I will see ya next year. 😉
Way cool! Those are super nice! 👍
Appreciate it!! Maybe I’ll do some of the Lino cutting work on a live hangout and have some guests on. 😏
Fantastic makers challenge! Great job Chris!
Thank you Mike! I like how Kyle also did a handle piece but very different. A nice accent piece for a knife that is also the blade guard.
@@RufotrisRootedRockhound both spectacular!! 🍻👍🏻
Awesome work bud. Love that crazy lace! Also love how that one looks where the bots came out. All around great job.
Thank you! I’ll have to do another video just showing them off for a while and admiring the lace!
Very cool bro your idea turned out nicely 🍻
Thank you! Time was my biggest challenge aside from pieces falling apart and cracking 😅
Awsome ❤❤❤
Thanks buddy!!
This was such a great project and they came out stunning! Such an amazing project! ❤ #MakersChallenge5! I ❤ it!
Thank you!! ❤️🤘
Very nice
Thank you! It was a fun project! Unlike most of my videos, also very rushed 😅 so forgive some mistakes. I have mostly just done cabs and free forms in the past but this challenge is a great way to branch out of your comfort zone!
Awesome art making your own handles is pretty cool
Thank you! I’m glad so many people liked this idea!
Awesome works!!!
Love what you did with this!!
Thanks Slim!
I might make more but have them be things for smithing like an agate tipped piece to bend the bezel on some silver over the girdle of a stone.
Very cool handles!
Thank you! I had fun making these! Now I’m going to do more!
Like to get a starter cab machine...cool ! Neat ideas!
I keep seeing some for sale but not really discounted, people seem to want full price for their used machines 😅
@RufotrisRootedRockhound yup...really expensive. Seen some cheap China for under $600 ...even still can't do it
Whatcha making bud
Handles!!!
Amazing idea to make something useful and beatiful for your art. You could maybe try reaching out to someone with a 3D printer to make the part you need if you want to make more.
That’s not a bad idea. I have a few friends with 3-D printers, I’m just not sure if it would be strong enough made with plastic. But it’s definitely something to consider.
@@RufotrisRootedRockhound I think it's possible to make parts in metal or a stronger material than plastic too.
@@anniegironne8444 oh yes if you have a very fancy 3-D printer, I have seen that but don’t know anyone who can print metals. That would be awesome!
