HELLO MR LOPACKI VERY NICE WORK . HELLO FROM MIKE MJFARLEY .I AM ON FACE BOOK I AM A MEMBER OF THE VICTORIA LAPIDAY AND MINERAL SOCIETY SINCE THE YEAR2007 AND NOW ONE OF THE SEN MEMBERS WITH 3 GEM DEPLOMAS AND SILVERSMITH DIPLOMA S. I LIKE YOUR VIDIOS .FOUND YOU ON DAVES GEM VIDIO . CHEERS FROM MIKE YOU DO GREAT WORK CHEERS FROM VANCOUVER S ISLAND CANADA.
You know how to pick the stones just what a turquoise lover wants to see . And thanks for sharing your Methods of how , to , do for people on a budget.
Love this and would love to build one. I am new to the hobby and want to also build a rock tumbler system. LOL I am 59 and loving this but no equipment yet. Can’t wait
Thank you for breaking this down in an easy to understand way. I been struggling to “bite the bullet” on a flat lap because of the cost, but I’m gonna keep watching this video and researching til I figure out how to build one of these. I loved my cabbing classes and want to start cabbing and polishing again soooo bad!
Thank you so much for sharing. I have inherited the metal body part of a flat lap but need to attach a motor a get the master lap disk and grinding discs still. I’m very new to building machines and things. My dad was teaching me while I was being his care giver in the final 2 years of his life. I do have a question for you, did you attach a longer shaft from the motor up inside the flat lap? I need help figuring this out because I really want to get it working. I have a bunch of rough stone he left me that I want to form. I look forward to hearing back from you and again thank you so much.
The piece on the flat lap that you called a "commercially made 1/2 arbor" is there by chance another name it may go by? Just purchased a motor and I am currently looking for the attachment! Thank you for the awesome video, great too see that its possible to have lapidary equipment and not break the bank!
Very Informative. I am officially inspired to build my own. What are the hp and rpm's on your motor? I wasn't able to make out the specifics from the video. Thanks
Right off the bat ... save money and build a superior machine. I'm right there.
Exactly what I'm looking to build. Thank you for sharing what you have learned over the years!
Danny you are so generous with all of your knowledge! You are a true rockstar

Thank you so much for this video. Simple, straightforward, and useful information. Much appreciated.
Happy to be of help to many out there.
Cool set up. Been looking for a simple set up that won't break the bank. This fits the bill. Thanks for sharing.
So simple I'm embarrassed that I hadn't done this myself years ago. But you can bet I'm going to now! Thanks for the video!

Great Video thanks.
Could you give any tips on the best way to add water to the lap please.

what is your disc speed? I'm thinking of using an ECM type brushless DC motor with variable speed control.

Thanks for sharing. Can you recommend a source for the arbor fitting?
Just did a quick search "shaft arbor 1/2 inch" plenty of sources.
👍👏💡😊
how is it that you still have fingernails? I grind mine off all to often LOL
I guess it comes from doing this for the past 41 years and learning lessons that taught me what to not do.
