Got this on an estate buy. The guy was 92 and he said it was given to him by a cab maker. He said it was absolutely the best he Ever used for polishing stones using duamo d paste. I didn't know it was for opals until I seen one last week at a rock shop going out of business. The lady said it was an opal polisher. Any one ever use one?  |

Got this on one of the last deals I made. About the size of a burnished. Triangle blade hollow ground and pretty sharp. I have no idea.   |

Well unpacked the tooling and made the first ring, it's a shame I don't have time to make more for a few weeks. Bought some silver commerative quarters and here is the result. I didn't have all my tools with me or a patina agent so silver it is. I thought I would include a commerative quarter with a sale.   |

I use a burnish tool most of the time. It's what I learned with so it the most comfortable for me. My jewelry always have marks but the people I sell to like the home made in the back woods look.
I really like your pendant.

I might not let you in my garage, I am bringing home in a couple of weeks 100 buckets of rough, 5 saws, some tumblers, a couple arbors.
I also bought a new rolling mill, and a silversmith bench.

I've been on their email list for awhile, they have been advertising heavy the last few months.
I want the ruin symbols. Been about 450, hope they go on sale.

Nice tooth, I think a pendant would be in order also.

Nice cabs, just ran across a Regency Rose slab, dead ringer. I think Gene at the Gem Shop mines it.
