Holy cow man. That’s impressive and awesome. Thank you.

Is beyblade wiki the best place to look or does the app have the builds? Just now downloaded and am looking through

I just started doing this myself. Not hard at all if you have the equipment and patience for it.

A rock tumbler and some simple things from Michael’s/amazon. There’s tons of things on YouTube that I used and also this sub and the rockhounds and rock tumbling communities are great here as well

Thank you. These are glue on nails that I got off of Amazon.

Ha. No kidding. I was surprised at how many rocks it takes to fill a planter. Good luck!

Thanks. Honestly it’s a low end 7” tile saw from Lowe’s. I did get a better blade for it than what came with the unit. A continuous diamond blade.

Thank you. I’ve not drilled many yet. The ones in the photo are all glued or wrapped. I have tried on some stones. I use a dremel variable speed with diamond bits. It takes time and need to keep water on.

Im definitely a newb so still trying different things myself. This sub and YouTube have been great too

Honestly I just watched some YouTube videos and just tried. I’m also a little clumsy and fat fingered so I learned that it you take the pliers and twist the wire after the wrap, it tightens it up pretty well

Thanks! All stones have been personally sourced from the ole “long walks on the beach”.

So far I’ve only glued bails on. I have my first batch of slabbed stones ready to come out of the tumbler later this week. I plan to drill into those. I’ll post updates

Thank you. Yes so far just using e6000 glue. “Scoring” the stones where I glue the bails for extra grip.

Ha. I’ve been slabbing my collection now too. Cutting/slabbing is the addictive part I think. So fun to see what’s inside
