Disc cutter - oval and other shapes by

trouble finding one in stock. It sure is a time saver. I still have
to file the edges, but that is nothing compared to the time it takes
to saw a circle.

Red Chalcedony/Carnelian from Yemen by
Aor
I am looking to acquire a large specimen of red chalcedony/carnelian
originating from Yemen for a ring. The local Yemenite name for the
stone is 'aqeeq or 'aqeeq hamra'. If anyone knows how it can be
acquired short of going to Yemen directly, it would be most
appreciated.

Idiots guide to polishing? by

been a loooong time since my metalsmithing class, and then we used
