Those are uchigumori pieces, I'm not sure if it's rockhounding. But most of the Jnats on ebay are obviously collected this way, and of course sold in the prices of the vintage flawless ones.

before there was diamond and carbide blades rock was cut using a wheel that would pick up sand and the sand would cut the stone. I have read that in text but never seen any diagrams to show it. Perhaps that is part of the history channel set up also. I would really like to tour Ardenes and have a chance to get a close look at their old tools.

Or even better build a power hacksaw.

The power hacksaw is an arcane outdated and very simple tool. A motor drives a cam that pushes the blade forwards and backwards and the whole assembly is on a restricted dropping mechanism. You have a vice to hold the rock, and the whole unit can be immersed since all the drive is done on a belt and pulley system. You could almost scrap one together, provided you had a motor and a welder. As for the blades you just use the tungsten carbide 300mm ones and steal the puller from a hand hacksaw.

a contraption like this could be easily modified to make it lap your rocks, right? instead of moving the hacksaw it should move the holder in which you've clamped your rock, DMT plate underneat and let it do it's magic :P

I am the OP for this thread and realized that I have never posted past that first post. This is a fun thread for me never the less...so carry on lads!
