Nothing to brag about, but I'm learning how to use it. Love that Genie. These need more shaping and a lot more polishing. It's a soft rock, one of the three slabs that came with the Genie, and I have no idea what it is. I don't think it will take too long to learn how to use it. Must get that dop wax ordered. Trish

Looking good so far Arkie Are you able to "shave off" the chip on the edge? (rock on the right)

Yes, I'm going to work on it more later. This is such a soft rock, about one touch to the wheel and that will be gone. I started with the second wheel on these. I'll probably go through the whole process again and try to get them shining. Trish

Thanks everyone for the encouragement! Haven't even had time to look at my Genie today. I just cleaned out three fish tanks, now I can find some pretty rocks to put in them and I have four Yorkies waiting for their bath and grooming. Been putting this stuff off too long. Must get it done so I can play again.

Just turn on the sprinkler outside & let the dogs run through it to get clean - that's what I do with my son when there's no time for a bath

Wish I could do that, buy Yorkies are a bit more of a grooming problem, and with the move we just made, they are really needing the brushing badly. Of course, as soon as I finish, they'll be outside rolling in anything they can find to make them "smell good" again.
