Thanks for the warm welcome! I have been tumbling for about two months. The 1st batch was fire agate and now on the 3rd stage of tiger eye. The fire agate turned out great, but no fire (low grade)---the tiger eye so far looks good. I get most of my rocks from e-bay (no local rocks around Seguin, Tx worth tumbling, unless you like flint---I have 6 acres of it). Have a good day, Jim.

It tumbles and SHINES surprisingly well!!! BE

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 *
