Hello everybody! Im new to the forum I live in AZ been trying to get into rock tumbling and cabbing. Got a double 3lb lortone that turned out some nice AZ pet wood and some agates/ jaspers I found around the state. Took around 8 months to get some serious results that im happy with. Figured I would join now that Im getting the hang of things. Want to meet some friends with similar interests and get some inspiration and advice. I also have a cabbing machine just waiting on a rough wheel to get practicing. Well glad to be here thanks for reading!

Welcome from Northern Arizona!

"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."

I use Tapatalk on my phone, so I wouldn't have to figure out how to post pics from my PC. LOL

I believe this link to the thread from Tommy explains how to post pics from your PC:
