Wanted to say hi and welcome aboard. I have been kinda out of it the last week and one thread saying hello to everybody is much easier than trying to say hi on a bunch of different threads! Yes, I am lazy! ;D This is a great place. Lots of wonderful folks and information that will have you turning out beautiful finished rocks in no time. Well, not "no time" because it takes alot of time to turn out some beauties, but this site and the info herein, will sure help you avoid mistakes that will make the process even longer. If I had followed the advice found here when I first started tumbling, I wouldn't have two boxes of do-over rocks! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) llana

Thanks, pho. Nice to be back, but don't think I will ever get caught up on all the posts since I have been gone. OH, BTW, that is one classy tin foil hat you turned out! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) llana

Hey ya Llanna, we were all worried about you. Glad you are back. BTW, Pho won the Tin Foil Hat contest, his lovely Flint Ridge Flint goes out tommorrow. This big ole 15# Thumblers is a lesson in patience, that's for sure. I took a load out of 600 tonight and put it into burnish. Tommorrow I try out the new Stoner original 2 barrell (3# each) handsome home made with love ![:-*](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/kiss.png) tumbler to go into Tripoli. I love this hobby! Glad you didn't go too far away, Llanna ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) cookie

Greetings All,
Me too! That is I've been out-of-it for a couple a'months now, just a lot going on in the real world. I've got the tumbling routine down so that on weekends I can tend to the stones; at four QT12/66's I'm about at full capacity for the time I have to spend on it. Right now I've got rocks to grade sitting in the den waiting for me, easy to do while listing to the radio.
Anyway my greetings to all the many new members who have popped up over the last year or so. This is a great board and though I don't post so much I do enjoy hanging out. And for sure as soon as I ever do get any more equipment, like that long sought after slab saw, or maybe another ton or two of rough, I'll let everyone know. I still would like to make the hobby pay for itself someday too.
WilliamC
