I have always enjoyed rocks, and had a little kid plastic tumbler when young, and had a pile of neat rocks I had picked up here and there. It really started last year when I walked into my state's largest lapidary, and was completely and irrevocably hooked. Started by buying a Lortone 3-1.5 and have had a great time with that. Progressed from the premix rough to the larger chunks on the internet of stones I liked and smashing them up myself. I'm just now getting into slabs and cut stones, and my lapidary guy made me a great deal on an old used Covington vibratory lapper he had in his garage. That's what brought me here... having the dozen or so questions that comes with a new piece of equipment Glad to have found this place, and I look forward to soaking up everyone's knowledge and experience like a sponge... and not one of those sexy petrified ones! Someday I'll be making those fancy cabs with the nice wrapping I've seen from my first browse through this place... I think the excellent tutorials are going to be great for me. Thanks to their authors and contributors! See you on the board!
