40 years ago, when I was a budding geology student, I took my 1st lapidary class and fell in love...but who has money to buy equipment as a kid? Fast forward- I now have an industrial sized 3-barrel tumbler, 4-unit grinding wheels, and a cab saw BUT they are all brandy new so I joined this awesome forum in search of help in setting up my SheShop! Time to retire from my day job and get seriously involved with what I am really passionate about!! The Great Lakes shorelines around Michigan have done a crazy awesome job at polishing some of our native stones. I can't wait to finish them off!

Good attitude. Go forth and save those rocks from obscurity.

Your retirement plan sounds like mine. 35 years with nose to the grindstone making a living. Soon it is my time. You live in the perfect state for collecting nice rock and road trips any direction will expand your horizons. Enjoy!
