[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 448864, member: 10304"] Lighting is an anglepoise with a 30w incandescent, head magnifier with different lenses and an LED light and finally a Belomo 10x loop. Biggest problem with lights these days is finding low wattage lamps. Find things often work better with a bit of natural light added into the mix and we have plenty of that without any direct sunlight, just the shade of the patio, so nice and soft. The stone's coming together slowly but is certainly visually challenging during the polishing plus some girdle facets angle the wrong so drive into the lap knocking around accuracy. Just one of those designs that looks simple until you start and get into it. [/QUOTE]
