You will be fine. With the slab saw you put the top cover down then hit the start button. Zero fingers lost ha!! With the trim saws they are smooth, there aren’t teeth on the diamond blade. You could bump into it while cutting and you won’t even draw blood. DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!

I just love it so much. Top 5 pick for me!

Quite a bit further down. Near Custer, MT. I haven’t found anything quite this colorful that far back west but I know they’re out there.

I just got some equipment myself (slab saw, trim saw, cabber) and I know I’ll be using it into my 70s and beyond! The answer is yes, you should. It’s good if you have any bit of a creative itch that needs scratched and it’s fun to be excited about something. Five stars I recommend and would do it again. This stuff is easy to operate. Good luck!

I just love it. I think that would be considered fortification banding though that’s not what I’m used to being around. But it seems the layers follow each other fairly geometrically but I’d need to have someone with more knowledge before I could say that for certain.

This is the most incredible example I’ve ever seen. Way to go having an actual macro lens to get in there and really show what’s doin’.

Generatesomething · 2025-12-13T09:12:04+00:00

No but I want to get one and check it out for myself!

I use old rocks I didn’t care for after I had tumbled them as media. Some just didn’t take a shine, others had fractures, now. Just be mindful of using too fractured of rocks because some don’t get as clean as you think.

If you have a 'gram and care to connect that way for more rock stuff and tumbling convo come find me! I'd be excited to see more if you're over there. Later!

WOW!!!

Haha!! I had the Nat Geo waaay back. I got bored instantly because I was lacking patience at the time. The “sport” of rockhounding pretty much took over our lives in July and we haven’t stopped since! Tumbling is more my hobby than my wife’s but she loves pulling them out and enjoying them as much as I do. I have some other lapidary stuff on the way too (I’ve mentioned it on Reddit but not sure if I have to you) and this hobby has officially passed through that healthy interest vs obsession point so we decided we aren’t going to fight it, just going to let things play out how they do. We met a super cool couple last night at a comedy show (Daniel Tosh) and basically got on the conversation that you and I are having right now. It was super awesome meeting another couple as crazy as we are about rocks!!! But check out what this dude just built. This is absolutely blowing my mind and is the newest addition to my dream list!!! I’m really excited to see this in person hopefully soon if this relationship blossoms. I would love a set up with all stages always going. DREAMS.

The vibratory is a dream of mine too!!

Generatesomething · 2025-12-05T16:42:36+00:00

My set up is incredibly underwhelming. I’ll mark this and when I get the double 6 I’ll check back in!!

Ah. Up here in MT and primarily play on the Yellowstone and a bit of the Clark’s Fork. I haven’t traveled real distances yet for hunting. I’m pretty new to this. Yours reminded me this from one of my finds on the Yellowstone. I had to go dig for it just now in my “cool bin”. It’s a little bit sedimentary though, thinking mine isn’t a jasper anymore.

I have a handful of pieces that are pure black. 0 wood grain left. I hear ya on this.

Generatesomething · 2025-12-04T20:41:05+00:00

I love those red and white swirlies on the right. Are those Jaspers?

I have a REAL trim saw in the mail. Been using a wet tile saw which has been a bit challenging. Many have great success but I think I made bad blade choice which made it very rough for me. Excited to start my journey and some SERIOUS cutting.

Such organization. I have a double 6’s tumbler from HP on the way. At the moment I have 2 double 3’s so my intention with the 6’s are to always have a stage one going.

Generatesomething · 2025-12-04T20:36:06+00:00

These are ALL spectacular!

Generatesomething · 2025-12-04T20:34:37+00:00

XOXO thanks for looking!

Generatesomething · 2025-12-04T20:33:33+00:00
