Thanks RS! I had great fun doing them. And, it's instant gratification

unlike the tumbler that takes patience, patience, patience! I also love watching the rocks take shape. Still need alot of practice though.

LZ,
I still can't see the pics on this thread but I went over and checked them out where Cher posted them and I could see them fine. You're doing a great job! What size is the cross? Are you going to wire wrap it?

Cher, thanks for finding a way around whatever this picture problem is and getting Llana's pics posted where some of the rest of us can enjoy them!

Not going to wirewrap it. I messed up the back side when cutting it and couldn't grind it all out. So, I am going to mount it on a neat looking piece of wood and it can be hung on the wall. It's about 3" tall.

I'm sure it will be GORGEOUS!!! BE

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
