Any estimates of how many people are in our hobby, compared to how many members we have?

Maz, If you consider "our hobby" being the full spectrum of lapidary the number is in the hundreds of thousands. If it's just tumbling the number will be a lot less. As you can tell by what's happening here in our group,we get a lot of newbies asking questions on the basics of tumbling and before you know it they're selling jewelry on E bay or at local shows. There also others who want to pursue carving,silver/gold smithing,faceting,windchimes,etc.The list goes on and on. How many in our hobby??? Maybe millions?? Tom

High level contagiousness will exponentially increase our population.
