I *totally* finished on time! 🫣 Okay, so I didn't finish my LEGO Edmund Fitzgerald model in time for the 50th anniversary of her sinking, but I'm getting there and I won't quit until it's done! It'll be glorious to show you all the finished tribute! In the meantime, enjoy seeing some of the detail work that I *have* finished. I'm looking forward to sharing more about the work that you get glimpses of in this video.

I’m off to learn how to cut and polish gems from Doug Christensen of @hedronrockworks. I don’t know what this will be like but I know it will be an adventure… yt:video:TVsE0NZ9Mtc TVsE0NZ9Mtc UCB9WfjBNM4w6m3k56mMe-gw laserlemon learns https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB9WfjBNM4w6m3k56mMe-gw 2025-09-10T16:01:00+00:00 2026-01-24T12:25:51+00:00 Cutting and Polishing My First Gem! I finally cut my first gemstone! After collecting hobbies (and gear) for years, it was time to actually give gemcutting a try. At the Midwest Faceter's Guild annual workshop, I learned how to dop, cut, and polish a stone for the very first time. And I learned from one of my gemcutting heroes, Doug Christensen of @hedronrockworks! In this video, you’ll see a true beginner’s experience of gemstone faceting, using a handpiece machine, cutting the first facets, and even struggling through a table polish. If you’re curious about gemcutting, faceting, or just want to see what it’s like to start a brand new craft, this is a great place to begin. Subscribe if you want to follow along as I keep learning and (slowly) improve at cutting stones.
