So I made a rake and hereit is. Might be too busy. What do you think? It's 5 inches across.

I will be sending it to her disassembled, with rocks...it will be like Bob Ross would say "you can put as many or as few as you want in your world". I will try a finer sand though. the two sands I have don't show the rake marks very well.

Pretty much the way it works, I give away as much as I make. What fun is it if you can't share? Then it becomes work!

Try fine/crushed "masons sand". White (pure silica) sand is typically very fine, also.
If you were closer I could give you a bucket of each.

I changed my mind yesterday. The new one doesn't work any better than the old one.

thanks fir the offer, I have a set of screens, will just screen it out at maybe 100 mesh minus. I was just in a pit in Conroe tx that had perfect white silica that was super fine. Will bring a bucket home next time I go.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
