Been lurking for some time reading and looking at the awesome talent that is here. I am a stone carver, large town signs, headstones, entry stones, pet memorials etc. but most of that work is done during warmer weather so come winter time looking for more to fill the stone addiction.
The wife and I just started a load of rocks in the tumbler, we have got a couple pieces of equipment from a couple that had it in their basement when they purchased the house, they told us that the elderly lady that lived there made stone jewelry, and they have no use for the equipment. got a small saw, and polisher, will post pictures for info. When the wife went to pick it up, there was a bunch of containers full of different rocks this lady had collected (she was 90+) they did not want them either, so the wife came back with equipment and a load of stones, now we need to figure out what we have.
and just a note she is just as much of a stone addict as I am, and does most of the polishing of the natural Indiana field stones that we use for headstones and memorials.
