Cutting Rocks: A Deeper Look at DIY Lapidary
Переглядів 16 тис.3 місяці тому
I love cutting rocks, but sometimes, theres highs and others theres lows. We're cutting (self collected), rocks I was too scared to cut and rocks that are too big for my tile saw. Whats inside is up to nature and already set in stone.

    I'm not saying I know anything about you, im just speaking from hearing what you said about leaving the rocks to tumble and from what I've been dealing with for the last year and a half or so. Depression is tough. It's a long bumpy road we go down. Losing your passions is even harder. Rock hounding/ polishing, wood work, leather work, metal work / forging, gaming, video editing, fishing, hiking..... I've lost a lot of passions, seemingly all at once. It's tough bro. But thank you for coming back and making me smile. I hope all is well or all will be well. Much love mate

    The small and mightiest are some of my favorite. The markings, little internal surprises can be vast. Also you are not going over board. God is the greatest artist that ever was! I sometimes go to the beach and sit for hours looking for agates. One of my daughters asked me how I don't get bored. My reply - I'm greatful to not be using a wheelchair at this time. I know it will be inevitable in the future. So as long as my legs are working, I'll battle through pain to do something i haven't been able to for years. I also told her, while on the beach I think of nothing, not even my art. That I pray alot and listen to everything around me. It's so therapeutic.

    • @Rookie_Rockounding
      @Rookie_Rockounding 7 днів тому

      There’s a bit of a chance to cut your nails on the blade but not really. The blade is made of metal and tiny chunks of diamonds which grind away at the stone instead of “cutting” so when your skin touches the blade it doesn’t hurt. Sometimes I rest a finger on the blade to get a steady cut 😬😬😬
