Thanks for looking

I usually have to redo my Montana agates at least once to get rid of tiny scratches, but they just kind of glow when you get them right.

Great job at getting the scratches out of that concave curvature!!

Great job!

Thanks, sorry I don't have any before photos, but this one was in the tumbler until I started seeing nice patterns and that it was solid. I removed it and started grinding and Voilà.

dandresow: Thanks. Haven't done anything with rocks for years. Just fixed an older HP 18 inch and dug out a 10 inch and 18in Lortone and I have a couple of trim saws and need to make something to cab with. We stay broke and I only have enough to put oil in 1 Dec 1, 2024 16:49:20 GMT -5 *
