The first section of this DVD covers how to make a flat lap out of a piece of auto glass for a couple of bucks. A good reminder that often a return to simplicity is the best way to go for clear and simple results. It is great to have options!

Into chapter 2 is an introduction to a flat lap machine, part & pieces.

Problem solving with the flat lap and changing grits move us into chapters 3 and 4.

Using the flat lap for cabochon cutting is next. While this may seem illogical, the flat lap as a cabbing surface is a choice of many lapidary artists.

Jim Barzee spends an entire chapter on the fine polishing of a cab in in section 6.

Review of the Cabachon Cutting DVD

Every once in a while, something; a new machine, a tool, a book, or an idea comes along and causes us to blurt out "Well, it's about time someone did this!" That's what I said when I popped the 90-minute "Beginning Cabochon Cutting" DVD into my player and saw what I had been waiting for a long time: an instructional video worthy of the name.

Review of the Cabachon Cutting DVD

Thanks for saving me hours and hours of trial and error in trying to create my first cabochons. Being able to easily go back and review each step gave me great confidence when I applied my new knowledge to the grinding and polishing wheels in my workshop. Thanks for making this video - Bob Scholl Really Old Rocks, Tucson, AZ
