Just found your board and signed up. I have been around rockhounding for 30 years but just recently got back into doing the work myself. I saw my dad using his water polisher and it looked like so much fun I had to give it a try now it's a race to get to see who uses it. After improving with it I decided to try and make myself a cabochon ring. I had made many of them when I was a kid but took alot of practice to get back up to speed on it but I made 3 and am very happy with them. Then Dad suggest doing the free form cabs so we have turned out near 200 of them in last several weeks. He recently purchased a lot of boxes from a fellow rockhound which contained most of the equipment for wire wrapping so that is my last in endeavor. I was actually looking for a place to purchase wire when I happened upon your board. Boy that was a long story and I just started out to say hello. Kim

Hi Kim, Sorry I didn't notice this before and welcome you to the RTH forums. I'd love to see pics of your rings and like Sands said, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. There's always someone around willing to share their knowledge. Cher
