Hi all! My name is Mari, I am happy to be here with all of you who enjoy this hobby as much as I do! I’ve been rock collecting most all of my life and was able to take my passion to the next level the past two years as I delved into learning how to wet saw, use rotary tools, and incorporate epoxy. I’m far from the quality I’m capable so I’m learning and sharing what I can as I go. I was thankful to find this forum and hope to save my brain many hours of research now that I have one source of like minded and well knowledged rock friends! I live in northern Michigan, traverse city to be exact. I’m lucky to be surrounded by the Great Lakes that offer many beautiful stones including my favorites agates, colored slag, fossils and petoskeys. Happy to meet you all!

onelove318 . Welcome to RTH. There is so much good advice here. It sounds like you’ll fit in very well. I can’t wait to see some photos of your work.

Welcome from Northern Arizona! There's a wealth of knowledge in the archives if you're looking for specific information. Just do a search of the forum and you'll be pulled down a rabbit hole so deep you'll lose track of time.

Welcome from SE Michigan! I spent a lot of time as a child in Traverse City, and 4 or 5 summers at Interlochen Fine Arts Camp (not too far from you). I still have rocks that I collected 30+ years ago from the Lake Michigan shore near Sleeping Bear Dunes. Not great tumbling or cabbing rocks for the most part, but lots of good memories.

The more they over-think the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the toilet.

Welcome from Charles Town WV. (Think John Brown's pre-Civil War raid.) I'm still fairly new to the tumbling aspect of this hobby and am hooked.
I've learned a lot from the folks here. As others have said, this is a tremendous resource... both in current members answering questions AND in the form of already asked and answered queries.
