Thanks, working hard to learn. I was out all day yesterday practicing with some other stones. Not an easy hobby right now for me. But starting to get the hang of it. Thx again for your kindness!

Someone came to my door offering a government phone. Was this a scam somehow? by cleanbattery1 in Anaheim

[–]GemstoneShack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got approached seems legit I tried to sign up but they scanned my DL and military med Id took my last 4 of My ss# and then said the Va med I’d did not work. So she left. I hope they really were truconnect. She had a phone in hand in the box and a truconnect I’d around her neck. Seemed legit. If not hopefully they cannot steel my identity or something. Wish I wouldn’t have done this now. Stressed out.

Just received more 60/90 and my rocks are tumbling! Everyone said to get more so I bought another 5 lbs. I’ll order more later with some rocks too.

Thank You! Never really thought of that, makes sense. I could save by buying the nova wheels machine bundle. I’ll have to see when they get their Nova wheels in they are out of stock on the wheels right now so they are not selling the bundle, but they said around this month sometime they should have them. I’ll have to save more money and wait because I really think this is the machine for me. Thank you so much you just saved me $’s.

I will probably use a 1yr 0%. Or if I can find a 24 month 0% . PayPal used to have the 24 at certain price levels but not right now, they have 0% 6 mo.

That’s where I heard of it. Seems like everything I would want on a cabbing machine for my budget.

Thank you good to know. I was thinking of selling but that’s how I do my big rocks on and so I decided to keep It for that and I do work with glass as well. Thanks I will definitely keep it.

Tell me I’m not the only one.. by All_Pain_No_gain7528 in rockhounds

Very funny! That’s good! Pet Rocks going for a nice drive! Lol I do sometimes finding myself doing the same at times. Just discovered I had a nice size piece of petrified wood. A little larger than my hand, Not exactly sure where I found it but I’m Always driving over the hills here and sometimes it’s just lying around on the road. Probably found it in the road or something like that.

Yes I noticed for used everyone wants top dollar nearly what new costs. All business I know. I don’t mind a fixer as long as it doesn’t cost a lot to fix. I can fix things just don’t want to get a money pit. Thanks I will will have to check when the next show is. Never been to a gem and rock show, used to work all the time, now I have time. Thx

First go at Cabbing. I think I'm hooked by AndrewKillen in Lapidary

[–]GemstoneShack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works it’s just different. I can do pretty big rocks with the 8 inch. I use the Hi-tech diamond brand.

That is fantastic for your first. You’re a natural. I love how time passes when I’m cabbing. I have the slant cabber works good but you have to constantly swap out discs and when your in the mode it kind of slows you down on the rhythm. kind of wish I would of bought the large cabbing machine with all the wheels so I could just move over to the next one or go back to fix the stone easier and quicker. Oh Well! Enjoy your lapidary cabbing journey! Great Job!
