Lapidary 101: Make An Awesome Cabochon FAST Using A Dop Stick How To Video

In this Lapidary 101 video I show you how to make an amazing stone cabochon using a dop stick instead of doing it by hand. I'm working on a preform of Tahoma Agate from Washington, USA, and discuss techniques of holding your cab and how to maximize efficiency and speed when cutting your stone!

Scared of agates and jaspers because they take too long to cut? Watch this video!! A couple key tips and tools will cut your time down so you can shape your stone as QUICKLY as possible.
