Hey all,
How about we have a thread here for tumbling stones? We have been doing some and it's great fun to see what comes out in the process. How many of you have tumblers and how have your batches been turning out? Everyone wants to hear/see..... Here is a pic Fordtruckman sent over of he and his grandson's first batches.......Nice work guys......keep em' rollin'! CP

Fantastic Agates! You did a great job tumbling them out. I also love how you added peaking windows to the tumblers, great idea!

Fantastic Agates! You did a great job tumbling them out. I also love how you added peaking windows to the tumblers, great idea! Thanks Denise! Yes it is very helpful when starting out as I didn't want to wait a full week to see if I was doing it right. So I found this really cool place that cuts lexan plastic and ordered some for my size tumblers. It saved me a few times when things didn't look right. By the way those apache tears are beautiful and I stumbled onto your heart cabs.. Wow! That chrysocolla/chalcedony one was just breath taking. I have more lapidary work I want to add but darn work keeps getting in the way Link to order clear or colored lids: (figured it could be used for other applications) http://www.delviesplastics.com/c/Acrylic_Disks_Square.html -------------------- 1/15 FA 2nd ID, Camp Casey Korea
