I have the rock polishing bug bad! My wife says thats all i think about. shes probably right.
I live in Sudbury Ontario Canada where there is a lot of rocks. Last year we went to Science North (a local science attraction) and got a chance to polish some rocks on a professional machine. Not sure what it was called but it had 6 wheels of different grit and made our stones lovely. Last few weeks i've been doing lots of research on lapidary and one of my searches brought me here. I'm a DIY'er and plan on building my own flat lap and hope i can find some answers here so not to spend money of stuff i won't need. i'll start a thread in the builders area and ask questions there.
Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello to everyone.

Welcome from Tennessee! You've found a great group of people with an amazing wealth of knowledge and a desire to share what they know. I still consider myself a newbie and a DIY'er and I am so thankful for all the info I've gotten here.
I look forward to seeing your flat lap build. A flat lap is on my long term wish list for sure!
