I finally took time to play around with my genie this afternoon. Haven't got that mirror shine yet, but I'm learning. At least I have some to practice wrapping now.

They really are shinier than they look in the picture. It's too late to take them out in the sun.
That one piece bottom, second from the left is a piece of my Arkansas Turquoise.

WOW! You're doing great! I love that Ark. turquoise, did you find that yourself? What's the pink one next to it, that's really nice too. Then second stone up from that, you did great on that one getting the lines straight. Dang good jog!

I have several pieces of Ark. Turquoise a friend gave me before she died. Haven't figured out where she got it yet, but I'll find some when I get a chance to get out. I don't know what the pink one is. It was a broken piece of slab I got with my first rock order.
Thanks for all the praise. I needed that.

Be sure to check my last post, I added a couple of pictures.

Afraid I'll never be that good or as good as yours either, but I'm sure going to try. Be so glad when this moving and putting away is done so I can get back to my Genie.
Thanks everyone for all the encouragement! It helps a lot.

Real nice work!!
What is the darker brown one between the lace agates?
That mirror shine is real easy to obtain on that machine.
I use a lupe after the 600 wheel and by the time you get to polish it should be a breeze.
Happy Trails!!
You are off to the races!!
