- Warning: this material contains lead and could be hazardous to your health when cutting. The video describes the cutting and polishing of a faceted gemstone.
most of the steps are covered but to due time limits not every step can be in detail. I use a manually operated facetron machine to cut.
I'm surprised at the material. I would have not thought to use TV picture tube. Nice! Also excellent work.
Hi and thank you for your comment. As a faceter and most hobby faceters might agree, im always looking for free or low cost materials to cut either for practicing a new design or otherwise and any kind of glass works well.
extra professional work, I love your job
thanks you for your kind words.
Does that still pick up the local TV stations ? 😆
Aprendi muita coisa vendo seus vídeos, obrigado por compartilhar!
obrigado
Nice Excellent Cut
That is Beautiful and The Material YOU use-a-TV glass, absolutely amazing. May I ask, what is the Faceting Machine you use?
thx, it was a facetron, now i use an ultra tec, thx for watching
Lindo seu trabalho
Parabéns
Obrigado.
A beautiful, well executed cut, Brent.
I'm curious, having never cut TV glass before, do you wear a mask when faceting the "stone"? My reason for asking is that I've heard rumors that there can be lead contaminates in the stone.
Thanks much for the nice video.
John, ive heard of the lead concerns but i didnt worry about wearing a mask as long as i didnt create any airborne grinding dust. Polishing can be challenging because of scratching due to the softness.
PERFEITA! PARABENS
obrigado

thank you for showing me how to cut gems can you cut glass with that machine i think you have to go to jewellery school
Hi, thanks for watching. you can learn from lessons by internet teachers or maybe by books and videos. This piece i cut i thin is glass which is softer than most of the gemstones i cut so no problem at all.
Linda lapidação
is the glass from a CRT picture tube any harder than common borosilicate glass?
No, its the same, the refractive index is slightly higher. Thanks for watching.
merci ;nice excellent
thanks
Sou do Brasil!!
Também faço algumas lapidacões, Pode me dizer qual o valor dessa catraca???
Olá, esta máquina de corte de gemas que eu uso tem um valor de 13000 reais.
How much to cut an translucent opal in Portuguese cut?
sorry not doing cutting these days
@@tennpikr74 it's ok could you recommended a cutter? What would the minimum the measurements height length width proportion for a rough I should look for.
Are you self taught or did you go to a gem cutting school?
When i purchased my first machine, the shop owner who also cut gems gave me a few lessons but after that i was on my own with just books and magazines back then.
how much this pries
It is worth very little since it is glass.
❤️🍀✨☕️🔨👍👏🙂🍷
