Hello everyone, I'm a new member to RTH. Around Thanksgiving I thought it would be fun to try wire wrapping cabochons. 3 weeks before Christmas I thought it would be fun to start rock tumbling my own stones. I bought a Thumblers Tumbler B and a whole bunch of stones. Last Thursday my 8" CabKing Cabbing Machine came! I am SO addicted!!! I LOVE cutting and shaping stones. I've ordered the cutting attachment for the CabKing too as I currently am using a tile cutter that is too small for what I need (actually it's a want!) I am grateful to have found a community where I can learn and ask questions from others who actually know what they are doing! I have self taught myself to wire wrap and have been quite successful. My first stone that I cut was an opal, it turned into a beautiful .42 ct teardrop and it's a keeper! So. Much. Fun!

Very nice first post. This hobby can escalate quickly, as you and I both found out.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
