Here's an oldie. lol... I needed some filler rock for the polish stage of my vibe pendants, so I dumped all of my Bots into the tumbler and re-polished them. I wish I knew how to capture the shine, tomorrow I'm going to go outside under the tree and try again. Anyhow, here ya go! (I'll have the rest of the batch in a couple days).... Oh, almost forgot- this is the batch that made me infamous. They were all pre-shaped using an upside-down circular saw with a masonary blade installed and the trigger taped wide open. ;D

Dang I like Bots! I rememeber when you started cutting rocks with your circular saw...we all thought you were crazy and you were going to cut your hand off! Glad you haven't...but I'm sure your still crazy! Love that peachy center..but the yolk centered bot really stands out. Steve

You forgot the disclaimer: Don't try this at home kids! I think you should whack them with a hammer and start over!

Super job! But is that a tumbled finger I see in there with them? I was just about to post some Bots, but you beat me to it by a couple hours. Guess I'll sit on my pics for a week or so to avoid repetition. -Don

Beautiful pieces, Randy.
I remember the saw also. It made me realize I too could cut rocks!
PS - it wasn't as easy as it sounded, cutting rocks on the upside down skil saw...

I`ve done the same thing Randy. Not one to accept the "you can`t do that" crap.

Yep, they're mixed in with the stuff in that wooden box. My current load will be going into the fine stage as soon as I post this reply. ;D
