Restoring and Transforming a 1920s Lapidary Bench into a 2020s Lapidary Bench
Просмотров 77114 дней назад
I love restoration videos so I wanted to try my hand at making one. This week I had the perfect project for it, which was this 1920s lapidary bench that I recently acquired in the French Jura. Over the course of a week I took off 100 years of paint, dirt, and grime and restored it to its former glory. #restoration If you would like to support my faceting endeavors, please become my patron: www...

Learning to RECUT on the Jambpeg (Cutters POV)
Просмотров 679Месяц назад
In this video, I use my FraLap machine to recut a blue topaz with a chip in it. It starts as a strange, flat, checkerboard cut and I recut it to a mixed cut and remove the chip. This is my first time recutting on the Jambpeg so I think it went quite well! Thanks to Gemmology Rocks for supporting this video with the topaz that I recut. They do courses and events around the UK. Check them out her...

    I'm a commercial cutter of 35 years or so. Depends a lot on the material. The other day 1.5 ct aus. Sapp R/brill was about an hour but a similar size zambian emerald was 45 min. The Burmese boys I used to work with could cut a 1 ct sapp crown in 12 minutes. The best I could ever do of good make was a complete crown in 17. Some of the young Thais girls with jam peg are mind blowingly fast.

    Looks great. I have refinished a TON of antiques. My parent bought out two Quebec Antique Dealers in the 1970's with intent of opening their own business selling antiques. Almost all the furniture was Pine but there was a bit of mixed hardwood, especially with chairs. Our entire home was furnished with antiques right down to our beds and dressers. That still left a garage attic and a large building right full of unfinished antiques. I learned a few formulas for stripping wood and for finishes and techniques. It was all a great experience and one definitely has a sense of satisfaction after refinishing an old antique and giving it new life. Nicely done Justin.

    It has many original parts, it could be returned to original working condition with the axle and disc that I have not seen. I don't think it's a problem to make the missing parts. I'm a little sorry that it's just an ordinary table for a jambpeg machine...Black paint never went well with wood, at least in my opinion it only works with iron... If temporarily it is OK, but please try to make it as it used to be, I would like it totally restored and not a repurposed table.👍

      Yeah I have the laps and most of the parts for a total restore but for now I don’t need it completely restored. I chose to keep it in a way that it will be an option for the future. As for stripping down the legs, it’s just too much work. There are so many tight corners and spaces down there that the black paint was the best compromise I could achieve.
