Hi all!
My my name is Wade, and I'm from British Columbia, Canada. I know next to nothing about geology but am learning everyday. A friend of mine introduced me to a geologist who gave me a truck full of core samples. I do a lot of rock and tile work for a living, and started looking for things I could do with them. I came across some YouTube videos of sphere machines and kugel fountains and was hooked. I built my own sphere machine and am steadily making larger spheres to make a kugel fountain. Work and life have gotten in the way of playing with rocks, but I'm still trying. I'll be posting pics of my sphere machine in that section soon.

Welcome from Northern California Wade. I look forward to seeing your sphere creations... adds a little spice to the hobby! There are a few other members working sphere grinders/polishers who post on this Forum. Here is one who just posted today... DirtCleanerforum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/80967/viewing-pleasureMy daughter used to collect small spheres. During my work travels (many moons ago) I used to make sure I always brought back a small one as a home coming gift. The airports always seem to have some in their flight line stores. Her favorite is an 80mm black Obsidian sphere on a tangled wood stand. She is batting 50/50 on telling fortunes and answering Yes/No questions. LOL! Glenn
