I just uploaded a new video. I made a pendant for my son with the logo from his favorite musical artist.

Another great video! You can tell that you're getting a lot more confident and comfortable doing it. The pendant looks really nice! Your son looks pleased as punch, too.  |

Kudos on the video! You make cutting out those shapes look like a piece of cake. Thanks for showing the whole process. It came out great and I'm sure your son loves it.

Have a question Rob
Because the hole was drilled first
you didn’t have to be concerned
about the bottom of the blade over cutting ?
Noticed that you didn’t need to hold the stone up at an angle
or use elevated platform
I think I asked that correctly…
Thanks rob!
I'll add my further comments here
your video really woke me up this morning !
Really enjoyed the epoxying part
Sometimes it hard to let the final adjustment rest
I’d always go back & try to tweak the setting parts
of the heart halves- a little more precisely ha ha
and then wondered if I broke the bond irreversibly
Finding the right kind of wax paper became kind of quest
Regular wax paper was all right
But the epoxy would stick to it
So I found that the wax paper bags
that the grocery store deli’s
used for fried foods
Were really slick
Plus I would have such problem with setting the eye pin
You’d think that would be easy ha
Anyway I'd get pretty crazed
with roughing up the stem of the wire
with a file
plus cut the bottom of the stem wire
at an oblique angle
Figured it would help hold better
Anyway just some thoughts
On you’re excellent crafting of pendants
Such a cool skill you have
Do have more of ideas to make of this type crafted pendant ?
Really rocks !!!

The blade comes out of the table at 90 degrees, so there’s no problem. I love that saw. |
