I love both games very much. I’ve played both a ton but I’ve definitely played OOT more so I suppose that’s my preference. But for me, the real question is between Chrino Trigger and FF6, as those are my two favorites.

Is this a NADDPOD reference?

Looks fantastic! This has been the main Vostok I’ve been thinking about getting. What are your thoughts so far?

I was shocked I had to scroll down so far to find this. I’m right there with you my friend!

From my own experience, it’s the prepolish to polish step that give so much trouble with quartz. I usually get around this by doing a very clean 3k grit pre-polishand then go straight to polishing. Ideally I’d like to use a good 8k prepolish but with quartz being so finicky in regards to contamination and scratching, I get better results without it.

If I want to do quartz right, and get clean flat razor-sharp facets, this is what I do. I have an old solid steel crystalite lap that is 3k Diamond and pretty worn. Does an excellent prepolish. Then I go straight to 50k Diamond powder on a gear loose BA5T lap. For the best way to charge the lap, I’d watch videos on how Roger Dery does it. It’s basically the same technique I use and it works every time, albeit it’s expensive.

If you want a way that’s quick, cheap, and VERY easy, go directly from 3000 grit (steel topper lap works fine here) pre-polish to a cerium oxide Mylar pad (spectra or similar). Mylar pads are known for facet rounding but you can minimized this a great deal with very light pressure.

Good luck!

Ugh, for sure! Yeah I don’t miss that part of it.

Great shot! I lived in Frisco for a short time and I’ll never forget this view.

He was picking his brother up from a friend’s house. It wasn’t where he lived and he was unfamiliar with the area. If you search for the original news stories from when the event took place, more detail is given.
