I was googling for information on building a rock clamp for my Harbor Freight 2 1/2 HP 10" ceramic tile saw and this sight came up.

cutting, tumbling, cleaning takes its toll
had to find something rock related that was easy as sitting down
searched the net knowing I'd find a place
relax and enjoy the RTH

The guy behind the Michigan Rocks YouTube channel suggested the site, and when I googled, the forum page was the top result.

I found this site after posting in a group on Facebook. I was trying to get help with rock identification. I have been a rock and fossil hunter/enthusiast for years but hadn't ever joined any groups. I just thought my finds were "cool". It wasn't until recently that I took interest in identifying my finds and sharing them with others. I think that I am going to be happy with my decision to get educated and share with like minded people.

Found this place looking for a way to build a better tumbler for my ammo brass on a reloading forum. Built one and now look at the trouble I'm in! My ranch has lots of rocks and I'm in deep. There is no turning back now. I have been assimilated.... And the people here are so kind, knowlegable and helpful. |

I just started my first batch of rock tumbling. So exciting! I just want to make sure Iām doing it right so I went online and found this forum/group. I thought what better place to learn from. Looking forward to learning and possibly sharing my techniques someday. I usually work with glass so rocks are new to me. Working with rocks that is. I have rocks everywhere in my home! Any first time tips throw them at me. š

My only tip is try anything you feel like trying. Do some quick research and go for it! There are a thousand different ways of doing stuff. The only hard & fast rule i've found with tumbling is that you always need a bigger tumbler  |
