Hi all, I just joined this forum to learn about rock tumbling. I have tons of scrap in my shop from making stone knives. You can see my site at www.flintstoneandbonecreations.com I am just learning to navigate this site, but will post pics. of my work soon. Can anyone give me pointers on rock tumbling my scrap? Stan |

Wow! Some serious looking knives. Love how you mix the stones and bones.

Thats a cool site Stan....You do some good work....As far as tumbling your scraps, If you have a tumbler they have good info in the tumbling section on how to go about it....If you want to do it faster you might want to invest in a vibe tumbler, it cuts the time to a week or so versus a month or more....Tumbler choice would be the first thing...Oh and welcome to the board.....John

Welcome Stan! Your knife work is awesome! I like your website too.
Its kinda funny- I started out tumbling and then switched to knapping a couple of years ago. I still do a barrel or two now and then- I need to do something with all the points and blades I still break and ruin (still learning)!?! I am sure you will find all the info you need here- lots of awesome people here with tons of kindness to help you.

Thanks for your comment dtcmor. I will be at the north Georgia knap in in April. Try to come! We can knap a point together. Stan
