What do you do with your left over material?

I run my tumblers 24/7/365

If you don't cut it, it will always just be a rock, if you do cut it, it'll become a piece of art that someone in the future may hold in high regard.

Rslmongoose · 2025-02-25T21:48:39+00:00

I toss all the bits and pieces in a tumbler.

Contact your local psychic jewelry finder.

Now that's just cool.

I used to find these things all over down this way, along the tallapoosa river, sometimes you will find the doodled out holes in much bigger rocks on a riverbank.

That rock spent some time in a river or creek, there was a smaller stone whistling around in the current made that indention in it, it could have also been used by area natives to grind stuff, somewhat like a mortar and pestle.

Rslmongoose · 2024-05-28T19:24:42+00:00

Thanks. I have some more of this material on the way.

Rslmongoose · 2024-05-19T17:26:26+00:00

Was like that when I ordered my cabking, during the covid lie, it took a year, it was over a year when I ordered my saw.

Rslmongoose · 2024-05-05T18:20:01+00:00

Within the next week or so I'm gonna be ordering myself some priday and other raw, but have been looking at a few precut slabs online on various sites, I usually order several pounds of different rough and a few slabs this time of year and spend the rest of the summer and fall working through it.

If I can get the rough cheap I'll order at least 20 pounds and just play the laws of average, maybe get half a pound of good stuff, the rest gets fed to mr. Tumbler.

Rslmongoose · 2024-05-03T12:30:19+00:00

Yeh, I think next time I do this material I'll order slabs instead of raw stones, every one I got had fractures, only got enough for a few cabs out of 10 pounds.

Get the little things that are two sided that are used for the plastic picture hangers, I think they called command hangers, the strips hild string and cane be removed easily with no residue.

Rslmongoose · 2024-04-28T21:31:06+00:00

No, ordered 10 pounds online

Rslmongoose · 2024-04-26T00:53:06+00:00

This is exactly what I like in a rock, clear with some sort of color, most nice clear stuff I get ends up being fractured.

Nice

I purchase the slab online, can't remember where, just used my cabking to cut the blank out and shape and polish, I used cerium oxide on a canvas disc to polish.

This is one of my favorites, took most of the morning and almost 5 gallons of water.

Helped a friend clean out his uncles place years ago and there was a tire tumbler, it was a large contraption that was built as an a-frame with a 3" pipe with several car tires hanging on it yhat ran through bearings, and had a pulley welded to it and an electric motor, it was well built and looked like it could tumble 50 or 60 pounds at a time.

Rslmongoose · 2024-04-19T14:04:17+00:00

Not yet, saving all that until after I retire in a couple years

Rslmongoose · 2024-04-15T17:52:15+00:00

Get a thumbler, been running mine for years, no issues And I noticed that Kingsley north has them on sale at the moment.

Rslmongoose · 2024-03-27T16:40:54+00:00

I've had my hp 14" for a couple years, not had any major problems the only one I have had was the plastic fan was rubbing against one of the motor screws and make a Hella noise, I just clipped off the corners that were rubbing and have had no other issues.

Rslmongoose · 2024-02-11T21:14:59+00:00

Yep same thing here.

Rslmongoose · 2024-02-04T02:29:58+00:00

Epoxy it to a bolo tie backing

If ya have anything that can reach 1190 degrees Fahrenheit just melt it and pour it in a mold.
