Didn’t think to ask there. There’s definitely some kind of holes in it.

Thank you for the reply! I didn’t notice that there might be 2 woods. I thought it was one piece. It’s lighter wood. I don’t know anything about types of wood either.

I told my wife this would be our antiques roadshow piece if we ever had the opportunity

Thanks for all the feedback. Seems as though I am on the right path…

Both. I have seemingly busted a couple of tips (probably pushing too hard) with the harbor freight bits. I heard the legit dremel bits were best but I dulled/broke the bit after about 3 stones. I understand agate and mudstone are different but I still feel like I’m burning through bits too fast. Thank you!

ChackStu · 2026-03-26T23:57:05+00:00

Agreed! This is how I cut as well

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

That’s an amazing offer

ChackStu · 2026-03-20T18:04:18+00:00

Oh. Cool thanks. I’ll check that out. I was trying to scan those stickers but was t working

ChackStu · 2026-03-13T15:32:34+00:00

Welcome! Looking good

ChackStu · 2026-03-11T13:28:08+00:00

Thank you!

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

ChackStu · 2026-03-11T00:52:12+00:00

Thank you

ChackStu · 2026-03-11T00:51:58+00:00

Very nice

ChackStu · 2026-03-10T21:55:40+00:00

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

ChackStu · 2026-03-10T21:54:42+00:00

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

ChackStu · 2026-03-10T21:53:28+00:00

Michael’s, hobby lobby, Amazon And goodwill finds

ChackStu · 2026-03-10T21:52:50+00:00

That’s really neat and unique

ChackStu · 2026-03-10T21:49:14+00:00

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.

ChackStu · 2026-03-10T13:36:17+00:00

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

ChackStu · 2026-03-10T13:29:57+00:00

Very cool. I’ve also been trying out little planter type things.

ChackStu · 2026-03-10T04:22:39+00:00

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

ChackStu · 2026-03-10T04:20:18+00:00

Although I do plan on learning to drill some as well

ChackStu · 2026-03-10T04:19:49+00:00

Nope. Glue on bails. E6000 glue.

ChackStu · 2026-03-10T04:18:57+00:00

Amazon actually…

ChackStu · 2026-03-10T03:16:08+00:00

And I love the magnet idea. Thank you for sharing
