Hi, my name is Kati and I live in Northern Illinois close to the Wisconsin border. I started using a small rotary tumbler a few months ago, but I've been a rock lover my whole life. After I started using the tumbler I found my first places to buy rough rock by the pound and when my first package of stones arrived I felt like a medieval queen being courted for her favor. It's an awesome hobby. I get impatient though so I also started using a bench grinder to polish stones by hand. That's also a meditative and rewarding activity. I'm very excited to have found this forum!
Thanks, 🌼🐝💛 Kati

Welcome to RTH ! Being that your new member don’t know your level of expertise with grinders? Sure your realize a 3600 rpm bench grinder is serious a machine, and doing rocks by hand on one; can be a hazardous activity. otherwise enjoy & grind on Ed in Phoenix

Hey Kati! Welcome to the forum from South Dakota!
I loved your description of yourself receiving the rocks! I always feel like a kid at Christmas when a new box arrives! LOL

Hello and welcome to RTH from Virginia.
I hope you are grinding rocks with water. It is very dangerous to your health to do it dry.
