    My grandparents knew the inventor and from the area of the DiamondPacific owner. He passed likely around the posting of this video or not soon before. They just got this machine and I was looking to become familiar with it prior to first use. Thank you for this video, sincerely.

    This was so wholesome and informative. I wonder if you could suspend a thick piece of wire in maybe a deeper crucible for crystals to form on? Kind of like rock candy.

    If you could that would really be awesome, but the way the crystals from as it cools would make it virtually impossible.

    Thank you so much for explaining this so well! My last purchased wheels showed the belt just barely when I first bought it,and it hasn't lasted very long at all.I have six wheels in all-four that can be recoated.I just need to know what the name of the grit is when I buy it,because they list it as what grade of mesh they used to package it. Also=I wonder if a mold could be made to receive the remaining goo to make polishing tips.A cut nail could be used with the remainder for use with a dremel or foredom.

    Hey Kinney, it's Sam Seth from Oregon. I was just fondly recalling the day we dug thundereggs at my Radford claim and thought I'd search your name. I'm glad to see you've made some educational videos. Please say hello to your wife for me. I hope to catch up with you all if I ever make it to Texas

    Good to hear from you. We really enjoyed digging at your claim. My wife reminded me that we never received any photos of the big thunderegg that we from that day. If you're ever down this way stop by. I need to get back to making videos for this channel, but I've been busy with my other channel Gardening Simplified - Polve's Organic Farm.

    How many carats of diamond powder do you use per wheel for 600 and 1200 grit?

  • @kinneypolve2100
    @kinneypolve21006 ай бұрын

    It depends on what size belt that you are recoating. It tells you in the video. 5 carats on a 6 inch and 10 - 15 carats on an 8 inch wheel.

    Very interesting way to make your hinges. I have been taught a completely different way but we are now in 2024… I cut my hinges first then I solder them on to each piece. I definitely make sure my measurements are perfect to the mm.. Thanks for showing a different way for me to try..,Michelle

    What a great tip on the hand rolling mill. Much easier to stretch it than decrease the size. I use a lot of ziplock bags but never thought about labeling them for future use. Separating the tools/wheels used for Tripoli or Rouge and labeling another great tip. Being a beginner I never would have thought to keep separate rotary tips for each compound. Thanks! Going to go get my PH Down to make my own pickle. Thanks for the recipe.

    That is a great tip to twist the end around to match for a seamless join. I was thinking it was just going to be left to luck. Your twisted wire has a much nicer look than the purchased wire. I like the idea of being able to keep the twist more relaxed or not.

    It appears you are using same diamond grit on the 4 belts-how does that work? The epoxy/diamond mix is the same for each of the 4 belts-how can you now differentiate the 60 grit from the 1200? Aren't they now all 4 the same grit paper? Please explain

  • @gardeningsimplified
    @gardeningsimplified Жыл бұрын

    Diamond grits are all the same color. On the inside of the belts I write what grit they are, and I know what grit is in which position on my machine. If you have a problem remembering which grit is in which position on your machine, you can simply label your machine.
