Hello

Well Nov my daughter turned 8 and what a bright idea I had she’s always been picking up and saving the “pretty rocks” so low and behold I figured I’d get her a rock tumbler
HAH we put them in on her birthday the 14th and then I found this board and I’m not sure how it happened but I just got a second dual drum machine 2 lbs of rough amethyst 2 lbs of sodalite 3 lbs of Tiger eye(already in the oven @500),Botswannas,Pet wood,and about 35 lbs of some local Baraboo quartzite used in the train tracks in these parts
And my wife keeps asking me WHO DID YOU GET THAT FOR??
Anyway I wanted to contribute so here is a pound of Amethyst that is rolling now

GOOD GOD how did this happen?

Be sure to get some pellets to use in the stages after coarse to cushion the amethyst so it doesn't fracture so much. Poly pellets from a craft store for bean bags and dolls is all you need.

Bottom row, 4th in is the picture button. Click that and it puts the code in `[img]instert picture address here[/img]`

Yea, what randy said and don't visit the rock shed either. Better cut up your credit cards and unplug your computer. Let your little girl do it all, don't even think about getting a saw...I see its hopeless, better get more grit and tumblers before your wife cuts you off
