Thank you Elliott.
Interesting that you don't use any turning tools just a powered grind and abrasives.
May I suggest that you drape a sheet of plastic behind the lath, over the bed, and down the front into a bucket to collect the water. Your lathe will love you for it.

[@burkleegreen7762]

Mine is a little different. I added iridescent purple pigment, and left my stones a little larger. Your videos are getting better - better camera angles so less looking at the back of your hand while you're working. Thanks for doing these, Elliot. I hope all is better with your family.

[@tristanross9795]

How did it turn out with the iridescent pigment? I was thinking of doing the same thing but wasn’t sure.

[@elliottadair]

Thank you! I bet the variation on your ring looks great too. I’ll work on the camera angles haha

[@TheZippingMeteor]

If someone wants a translucent purple stone that seems to hold onto its color more than amethyst, look into getting some purple jade. For a ring like this that uses no pigment, it may be a better option.

[@BrandonKelly-ws5ik]

Just to add my tip, instead of using a hammer and metal plate to grind the stones, I started using a mortar and pestle. It is easier to control the grind and not as much flies out into the nethers.

[@elliottadair]

I’ll try this thanks!

[@elizabethswinler6837]

I've found this to be true for the opal and softer stones, but the amethyst (and other harder stones) the hammer method worked better. The amethyst just didn't grind up easily.

[@user-sj2bt8ei3x]

I use a 1-2-3 block, a piece of metal rod, hammer and a 1.75 in piece of pvc. just drop sea shell, sand, stones or whatever on 123, put short piece of pvc over and hammer away. All splash is retained. It seems to work for me.

[@MXMassey3]

Very nice! Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@PatrickAdairSupplies]

Glad you liked it! Thank you

[@barryjbooker]

Little different then what I imagined the process would be for this one.

[@jasongurganus6349]

[@jacobpotts9108]

Great video! Thanks!

[@boxart5268]

Great ring & video. At the end of the video, please show a close up image of the final ring because in the vid, you can’t really see the detail of the materials in the ring. Thanks

[@PatrickAdairSupplies]

Good point we will make sure to not skip this

[@Algoldprospecting]

Those are cool. I want to make some. Where do you get it from? I make and cut a lot of gemstones I can put in those rings
