About a year and a half ago I got interested in being able to cut and polish the beautiful gemstones here in the Southwest US.  I watched many videos and talk to many lapidaries and familiarized myself with the processes and concepts.  Being an engineer, I found that my habit of collecting odd parts and striping down discarded appliances soon enabled me to put those concepts to work.  See how I built my own flat lap out of a discarded trash compactor, a Christmas tree stand, a wet floor cleaner and some irrigation line.
