Thanks for posting this video as I've been playing around with a little quartz lately. Here's a link that works for the vid. Rick B

Thanks for the correct link Rick. The one thing I failed to mention in the vid is to use fairly high platforms. I prefer to keep my platforms at the center of the piece, rather than below center like we do on most rock

Nice video! Lots of good info. You show true skill by being able to work a variety of stone. Hope to see more in the future.
