Iā€™m pretty sure I still have my faceting machine not a fancy high dollar job lol just a hand work one you use a dop stick with
it mounts on table or workbench edge, you set the angle and then approach with the gemstone anchored to the dop stick thereā€™s a rest to set it against so as to get the same angle on all sides you want

also, my dad had a pretty cool ā€œtigers eyeā€ ring. (i think thats what he said it was called.) never seen a stone like that when i was a kid and thought it was pretty neat

Well, I donā€™t have any pictures of my art. Iā€™ve been making hemp necklaces since I was a kid, but I can make alot more intricate pieces than you usually see. If I can get a pendant from @JohnnyPotseed for a good price (pm me) Iā€™ll make one and post it.
