Step 5Stone Bullet
few weeks ago, my friends, amid conversation about making these bullet jewelry pieces, came up with the challenge of shaping a bullet out of a stone. The reason we came up with the idea was i wanted something more to add to the said bullet necklace, i wanted a birthstone, add 2 and 2 together and i have fun. Anyway tangent done.
I attempted to glue the rock to a pin that was .3 inches because 7.62 mm is roughly .3 inchs ... aka 30 caliber. anyway, if i was patient enough i bet it would have worked, it would have given a good guide to make sure i didn't cut to far into the stone. however, i just wore leather gloves and just slowly etched away the stone with a dremil in a boxy manner so that i could round it out later.
*not, wear glasses of some sort, the stone likes to fragment into small bits if you press to hard, hurts bad when you get some rock in your eye*
