Hi, I’m new to rock tumbling and such. Since I retired from teaching about 8 years ago I’ve been working off and on with stained glass. Recently I incorporated agates as accent pieces in some lamps and as a result I think I’ve fallen in love with rocks. I purchased a 3 lb tumbler and my first batch of mixed rocks is being tumbled now. Got lots of questions about tumbling and sawing but will read through the other posts before asking, since they have probably been asked and answered before. By the way, my name is Doug and I live in Big Rapids, Michigan.

Welcome from a non-retired teacher from Alpena. We've got some great tumbling rocks in this state.

Hi welcome to RTH from Virginia. Our cardinal rule here- without pictures, it didn't happen. I'd love to see one of your lamps.

Welcome. Good luck with that first tumble. Reading past threads is a great idea but feel free to ask questions. I am also another Michigan member.
