RTH Members Sharing Their Homemade Ingenuity

The following are featured forum posts of do-it-yourself lapidary machine projects, useful devices, or clever hacks created by RTH forum members over the years. If you post and finish a new project or idea, or if you find a post we missed please let us know so we can add it to this page.

At the minimum to qualify for this page a DIY project must clearly show in pictures a working example of the creation. The most useful and enjoyable project posts are those with multiple photos and step by step descriptions of the project as it progresses from start to finish.
