Thanks. This was really helpful. I have most of the tools ready to go. Too bad I have to fight Canadian winter in my garage.

just found this November 2024 - verrrrrrrry gooood!!!

Hey bro what kind of wax do you use for the wax bath?

Thank you so much for your videos, I have used many to bind our whānau taonga. Where do you purchase your taura and what diameter? I have looked at a few but want to get it right

tena koe ee hoa for everything that you do for the pounamu community darby

Is there any way to do this lashing without the notches in the top of the toki? I'd love to have the same effect without carving notches in to my toki. I will if I have to though... Ideally not!

If mine comes undone should I use the old thread or just get a new one ?

Thank you so much. I was able to restring 2 of my whanau's taonga through your video❤❤❤

Bro awesome .. l learned so much from you .. thank you 🙏🏽

Also I found your other video "replacing/making necklace for pounamu" and that video was a lot easier for me to understand and follow! Great work & thank you so much 😊 Really appreciate your mahi

This video was a little confusing for me in terms of explaining and demonstrating and the view of demonstration, but it was very helpful in the end 😊 Thank you so much for this video! There's nothing else like this on the internet, so this is great 👍🏼

Thanks , never knew there was so many kinds . Or that my “ Douglas Creek piece “ was magnetic , super cool to learn it has magnetite in it , and that explains why I’ve “ felt it to be very grounding . “ Magnetite is a load stone excellent for grounding and healing . I put it , to my magnet , and yea really magnetic . Mine has veins of very clear green through it as well , giving it the jade inclusions . Thanks , I learned a lot 👍

Zam jewelry polish , is good for polishing jade Bro . 👍Used with a large cotton wheel that you put on grinding wheels .

So yeah next time dont speed up your video

Ngā mihi bro, locked!!!! love it, off to the tool shop I need to go👊

Douglas Creek?

What an awesome cobble, that would have been an exciting find!!!

I love that i'm here in California and fading same stuff, made in the depths in the middle and we collect it at the edges . this stone has taken me on a journey , its special and I had no idea till I started working with it . it literally made itself into shapes in my hands that were not my designs, and then I started learning about it, strange stuff, it has the story of earth rising up out of water trapped in it somehow. sounds crazy but I feel like you already know way more about what im talking about than I do. im just a rockhound that stumbled upon its secrets. thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills with us !!

my second bracelet made of pounamu has worn out and now I understand that I will not be able to restore it. I cannot do this technique

Beautiful! Great channel for how to👍

🙏🙏🙏

Hii sir iam from india me i have green stone 3kg this stone is transparent so pls help me to id

thank you for this vid it was really helpful

Hi campbell I'm heading your way I have a rock 🪨 that mum has had for 40 years it's beautiful I'd like to cut if your saw is available frm Monday I'll pop in for a use of saw if u have time

Great video mate.

Thank you I plan on do this tomorrow I like the water device

Yes. Thank you! My replacement cords leave much to be desired! I have kept trying to watch what you do.

Boy, you need to spell those words! You say them so quickly I get lost.

You can get a mirror polish just by keeping going on past a 400 grit, but use a wet sand in the high grits. Then just a good rub with a polishing compound. If you have a buffing wheel, that just makes it faster and easier.

We're do you buy your ponamu from?

Hey bro what kind of cutting disk do you use for pounamu?

Damn that is really nice, glad you decided to keep it as-is.

Thanks so very much for your toggle video. I've been wanting to learn that technique for the past year.

Many Thanks, this was very a useful video and just repaired a Toki quickly and easily with the original cord that had come undone.

😎😎😎

Thank you so much! I gave my partner one and the lashing came undone. Fixed it with this video! ❤

Kia ora mate, just woundering where you get your Hourglass Burr, from ? I have had a look online but can't find any in nz. Also watched another video of your toki making, where do you get your sand paper from that you put on your pottery wheel? Isnit just wet and dry ? Or is it a special dimond paper. Thanks so much

Kia Ora e hoa. Can you cut pounamu with diamond blades used for granite and engineered stone? Ngā mihi

Awesome find!

Wow just stunning. Only recently learnt about the kokopu pattern. Can't wait to see what you do with them.

Hey, I'm making a carving table and I was hoping you could help me. I have the same setup for my expanding wheel and point carver.. My problem is I can't find a mandrel to hold my point carver in my chuck (See this video at the time - 3:08). do you have a link or know what you call the diamond wheel holder with the wing nut holding it on? thanks in advance!!!

Love your videos probably watch them all. Question did you sealant or use any type of rubber washer thing to stop water getting in behind the flat lap and into the shaft hosing

Thanks a lot mate...got a nice pounamu hook from my wife while in NZ and was really sad when it started getting lose. Beeing over in Europe again I had to find out myself how to fix it again. You made my day. I tryed fishing nylon to pull it true. Worked pretty good. Have a great day.

thanks man

nice

very nice!!!

I'm so pleased with myself...I'm so unco, but even I was able to nail this!! Applied it to my first boar-tooth necklace - success!! Thanks for the vid, couldn't have done it without ya!

So its a series of alternating 1/2 hitches from the whipping down the stone

Hey Campbell. What grit is your main shaping disk? Is it a flat lap with diamonds? And same for your second belt, is that diamond too? What grit? Thank you

Beautiful looking po
