How I make opal doublets.

G’day everyone, I hope you’re all well! In this video we’ll be making some opal doublets. We’ll go through the process step by step, and hopefully you’ll gain enough of an idea of the concept to give it a go yourself. I hope you enjoy, thanks for your time. 🤪👍

    I really enjoyed this. Just starting to learn how to cut and set with smaller stones and not the best quality, things like this are invaluable to someone like me.

    Definitely a messy process but you make it look so simple. I can't wait for the video of you completing the stones.

    Hmmm what's on KZread? Hahah ya got me! 😆 Lovely stones there, mate. Looking forward to seeing how the Lambinas come out once you go a bit closer to the black ( I think it was the Lambinas?). Thanks for the Christmas video and thanks for the year of vids. Really good stuff! My aim is to be a little bit more involved next year, but that kind of was my aim this year, so we'll see how we go. Merry Christmas to you and the family, Phil and merry Christmas to all the extended opal family. Be safe and enjoy!

    Thx Phil, u gave me my last fix for 2023, I reckon Paul's doublets turned out stunning, the other I think a few very nice nice will come out of that set, at times I do use Obsidian when I can't get my hands on black potch, have not had any issues, so black glass should not be a problem iff it it scuffed up to hold the glue. Merry Xmas buddy to you n your family, stay safe and thankyou for the entertainment of 2023.

    Most of your doublets seemed to develop T shaped cracks, must be something to do with the pressure of the doublet process. Luckily it seemed to buff out on the wheel for most of them but I would be worried that the cracks may come back. Guess we will see after the final polish.
