A Fine Piece of Jewelry Does Not Start in a Showcase
A Fine Piece of Jewelry Does Not Start in a Showcase
One of our favorite activities is rock hounding field trips. From the U.P. to AZ to Ontario. We will go anywhere to dig in Mother Earth. And hopefully find a nearby brewpub. (Send us suggestions for both field trips and brewpubs) I love to make spheres from minerals found on these trips. And some jewelry!
One of the greatest joys I never new would be a part of rockhounding, meeting wonderful people from all over the world. If you are in the hobby you probably have read some of Bob Jones work. He is a major contributor to Rock & Gem magazine and has authored books. Including the one pictured which he autographed for me.
There are many ways to make a sphere. Here is how I do it. There are certainly easier methods but this works in my shop.
There are many ways to clamp a rock in your vice. Here is how I do it. There are certainly other methods but this works in my shop.
Might not be a tip anyone else will use but it sure changed what I can get done in my shop. Accessibility is a big deal.
