Well i got projects #4 & #5 done.......i have some good news and some bad news.....the good news is the Honey Onyx came out really well and did better then expected.....BUT now the bad.....the Agate was a problem cab to start with....the 80 grit really ate it up...expecally the quartz part so i drop the shape two sizes and i finished it and it looked ok but there was some fractures and a crack and when i tryed to get what was left of the dopping wax off look what happened

Nice shop setup, I learned a lot reading your thread. I plan on getting organized soon, my shop consists of a 90$ tile saw and an inland 3 in one unit sitting on a large tupperware container! I am now inspired to get organized! Nice material, I especially like the royalite.

Ok here is the projects #6-#10 all done......all in all guess it could of been worse
![]() Banded Agate: Final measurement 13.86mmx19.42mm....Well this one didn't break on me..Whew thank god....it turned out ok but the shine is still kinda dull, maybe that's just because the colors.. ![]() Amethyst: Final measurement 12.18mmx19.20mm...This one is good and looks cool BUT it started with fractures and still have some of them but didn't break on me ![]() ![]() Kansas Pop Rock: Final measurement 9.88mmx12.40mm....This one also came out good...probably the best one out the rest. Fire Agate: Final measurement 10.17mmx11.74mm....This one seemed to be the most problemed....well to start off the bottom is still uneven, started that way...will need to be flattened...as you can see in the measurements it's almost round and don't ask me how it got from 9.86 to start with and got up to 10.17 ![]() Honey Onyx: Final measurement 8.22mmx9.79mm....Now this one didn't turn out that good at all...even more troublesome then the fire agate...as you can see it's also almost round....the sides had a hard time getting even ![]() All in all it really could of been worse.....as far as how well did the M5 polish work....well it was kind of a mess....had problems getting started..so i stoped and took off the canvas wheel and spread some M5 on it because the stone just wasn't getting it on....don't really see that much difference but i do see some but sure does beat spending alot of $$$$ for the diamond compound syringe i guess ![]()

Scott, nice work! What kind of stone is the pop-rock, I have heard of a type of pyrite called pop-rocks, but that sure doesn't look like pyrite. Keep up the good work!

Scott,
I hate to say this but I am still confused, mybe it is the way the photos came out, the pop-rock looks translucent. The ones I have are definently pyrite, I did not think it could be clear, but I wouldn't be suprised if I was wrong about that. Nice thread by the way, very helpful and you do great work. Thank you for the links as well, the boji stone stuff cracks me up! ...Dude -------------------- Dude, Duder, or El Dudearino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

Here is a pic of all the Pop Rocks i have........as you can see looks like i have mostly males and males are harder to find.......that one half looks to be a female....and all the lil ones to the right was polished in the tumbler....you can't really see it in the pic but all them tumbled ones are see threw and do look exactly like the cab i did........i could be wrong about the cab though...it wasn't marked....i took a guess but with the research i just did i'm sure that's what it is...only other rock guess that i can think of that it could be is Apache tear maybe??

TY faaus........here is a closeup pic of the project........thought it might be really hard to see or people might think it's part of the mag....The project took 109...6mm Silver jumprings and 71...4mm Gold jumprings to make the 8" bracelet.......i'm also trying to decide if i want to add that Malachite bead in the center of the circle pendent....will either try and string wire threw it or just glue it

Welp the Malachite bead didn't work out.......tried to glue the jump ring into the half drilled hole but it just didn't stay so i found this pearl fully drilled bead at grandma's and wired it into the pendent.

Here is my next 2 projects.......the first one i will be adding that gold inlay cab i won at the ranch at Fairplay to that scorpion....will have to trim the cab...as you can see in the pic it's alil too big for the scorpion and will have to make a setting for the cab..i took off the setting that was on the scorpion it sat where that lil patch of gray is at on the scorpion's head......the next project is the cab mom won at the ranch...she told me i have to make a wire wrap for it so here is my idea for that project......hope to get these projects done before the big move......hope i can do it

Here is the after shot...as you can see that' lil pink looking cab to the end on the right side from above post isn't in this pic...that's because it flew off the dop so will have to redop it and try it again but i think it also took a chip off of the cab itself so it will be smaller in size..sigh....oh well the rest turned out good the scorpion cab i think i did a good job but i think the M5 polish left a hairlike haze on it and i tried to take it out but it wouldn't come out....oh well it gives hair on the scorpion's back lol.....the black looking one isn't black in the light..it's really cool..it has kind of a cat's eye band shadow look and it's deep purple and when held up to the light it's totally black or gray clear...really cool and the bigger cab kind of has some mica or abalony shell fire bits to it...it's cool too....it was good to cab again...i think i will try and do more cabs it's not as bad as i make it lol.
![]() P.S. the last three was cabs that Granps or Granny started but didn't finish..they was still on the dops so i finished them.... ![]()

Welp i just got done setting up the station to drill some holes in the Scorpion's back so i can add the stone with the setting.....if you look really hard in the bottom left corner you can see that i have started on the setting for the stone itself them were made with a sheet of brass....the strip of brass there is for the bezel to set the stone in the base and the lil sheet there with a trace mark of the stone is the base itself......after drilling two holes on the Scorpion then i need to drill one small hole in the setting for a total of 3 holes....will see how it turns out

Just got done cutting and sizeing the bezel....it's the ring right beside the stone at the bottom right of the pic.......i used the Thing-A-Ma-Jig (that clear peg board with the purple pegs) to size the bezel and then used the saw to trim it down to size......now i need to start soldering....first i need to solder the bezel ring shut and then solder it to the base.
![]() P.S. The drilling turned out ok....will see how it works out after it is all inline with the scorpion's back...after the bezel is complete.

So what's new in Scott's Rock Shop so far this month?
I got this watch repair kit setup.....have already paid for it for the most part...took out a link on one watch and replaced two batteries in a watch of dad's...dad told me that one time he had to take one to a jeweler because Wally World wouldn't replace it...dad's is screw off not pop off so i had to use the tool at the very top...so maybe that's another reason Wal Mart couldn't replace it...that and it was a Fossil and this one i repaired was too...it costed him like $13 to change just one battery....i replaced two and it didn't cost him anything except for the batteries of course...lol...so i really think in the long run i will pay for this over and over.....(seeings it only cost me like $6...lol) The stuff to the right is cotter pins and spring bars (for the band part of a watch) them cost me way more $40 and when i got it the cotter pins was a mess...had to redo it all and put the pins back in the right compartments.....that took a couple days....sigh ![]() ![]() ![]() Links: seeings the picture didn't turn out very good....lol http://cgi.ebay.com/16-WATCH-BAND-STRAP-RE...=item334f89292d (Same price i paid...got for $6 because i had ebay bucks) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=350270556864 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=230393807945 ![]() I added these shelfs right by the arcade to display rocks...i'm wanting to add lights to the center shelfs and display slabs....sun catchers us rockhounds call them...lol. I got these shelfs from grandma and she got them from her mom (granny...Spear's Rock Shop) These selfs are still work in progress so there will be more pics of it someday...lol ![]() Here is some more Sea Life Necklaces i made (2 more) ![]() Ok last but not least ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Here is some projects i'm working my way up too....i cut these slabs to get everything up to the same step which is dopping and then cabbing.
Here is the collection.....the black whole rock in the center will be cut in half as slabs then cabbed for the Cabbin' Fever Contest http://www.coloradoprospector.com/forums/i...amp;#entry18459 ![]() ![]() Here is the aftermath.....all the top stuff is the leftovers....as you can see one didn't make it....fractures are the worse things that can happen to cabbing ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Dopping Time....1st time with this New Dop Station...it worked ok...might be a easyer way to do it tho...lol....that round strip below the slabs is a heating pad to heat the slabs to make the wax bond to the dop stick...it works but the stone is hot and i almost burnt myself....lol...so once you put the stick on it you can either grab the stick and hurry to flip it over (if not fast enough the slab will fall off and make a mess) or i found out that tweezers and holding on to the stick can be done to move it to a steel block for cooling (the wax has to cool some to make the stick stay and it can't do that on the heating pad lol...so i found out that tweezers is kinda a must because the other way is a mess lol)...will take some time to get use too...it's kinda safer then the old candle dopping station that i still have....lol....soooo anyways.....i picked 6 stones to work....i only do so many at a time.....don't want to over do it by doing abunch at one time.
![]() ![]() ![]() All Dopped and ready to go ![]() P.S. Remember one of these stones (Top Right) is in the Cabbin' Fever Contest ![]() |

Ok Cabbing is all done and each stone had it's share of problems....first off you don't see the tiny lil tigereye cab (bottom right corner from pic above)...well it came off the dop...sigh...so i replaced that one and did the kite shaped one and let me tell you it turned out really good.....i gave it a faceted edges look and no dop...polished all around by hand except the keyhole of course...lol...can't really tell in the pic but can see a facet if you look really hard on the left corner....the heart one came off the dop too but i superglued it back on and it stayed
