Here is a video. If anyone has a suggestion for good background music that won't get my video removed let me know. Silence is boring. I listened to several of the free ones Youtube has but didn't like them, but there are a ton to choose from.

I got my South Dakota Prairie Agates from rockshed for tumble, but so far they don't look as interesting as I would have hoped. Maybe I should just wait until polish.

Those are the best looking polished rocks on the board right now! (Of course, I'm highly biased! LOL) Seriously, those really do look amazing!

Some of the bigger ones were literally in coarse for 4 - 5 months. This material definitely requires some patience.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
