Meant to point out that this stone is one of the cheap rocks from Family Dollar that I had posted about last Summer.
and I need to get some Jewelers Tools to keep the scratching down a bit.

It took me awhile to see the "RTH Rock Quarry" sign on the top. The whole project is Super Fine. Lovin' the "High" leaves on the back.

Had a busy New Years but I did finish the wrap that I had been planning, will make a few more soon as it only takes about 30 minutes to make it. Using standard mechanics tools Went through all my rocks and selected all the best ones suited for my next few projects Selected the rocks most useful to this project with large wire Built the Wire Frame from measurements I made from the rock Assembled it all and tweaked it for about 5 minutes Pictures are a little dark but you can see what's going on ok I guess Haven't tried to find my smaller gauge wire yet, would probably work better for smaller stones This one weighs almost 2 ounces at 52 grams, probably too heavy to wear Looking forward to making some more since I still have all the stuff sitting on my desk.

This one reminds me of a slice of citrus. When I joined the local Rock Club they gave me a stone that tumbled out just like your Slice of Citrus rock It's in the center if this pic

North Alabama Outdoor thermometer showed 11 degrees this morning and it's trying to snow. They're still predicting 7 degrees in the morning.

^^ 500 posts for the Woofer!! Congrats and sorry that you are now misunderstood! oh... and 8 degrees in Alabama just ain't right! Wow it -is- 500 posts . . . that would be 1.33 posts per day during my 374 days as a member of this forum. This is a picture I took here in Monti Sano Mountain State Park in the mid 80's after a snow and a night below 10 degrees. I lived on that mountain or I would have never been able to make this photo . . .

I'm not going to be able to do cleanouts for at least the next coupla weeks since my cleanout station is outside in the back yard. The water supply is a garden hose and it will be frozen. Last week cleanouts were done at 40 degrees and that is about as low as I want to go with my hands in the cold water that long. The barrels are spinning in the garage and it should be fine in there after going down to 12 degrees.

Wish I could draw- you should see my sketches. LOL! I think it's a great idea to sketch out your plans. I can't wait to see the finished result. When making things, a Good Drawing isn't required. But a sketch is needed to show yourself how to do it and what the idea can produce. In your mind, you already know what it is supposed to look like.
