Hope they are not getting them C.E. tumblers it could have bad effects as to their futures in rock tumbling. Just wonder how many people have bought them and just gave up tumbling and never tried again. George

Hi all I don't use e-bay to sell at all hope to some day.My wife and I do this rock thing as a team. I cut and polish and she makes the finished pieces. She has a friend that sells some of her things in a metaphysical shop(about 300 to 500 dollars. every 2 to 3 months) SO to get to what everyone is saying here, my wife had a bunch of inventory setting waiting on her friend to pick up.Well you all know how everyone makes fun of us at work about playing with rocks,they don't anymore to me because I took her inventory into the guys at work too see and ended up selling over $1000. That was in about 3 hours of showing it off,the highest price piece was $50 most below $35. Most of them said they had never seen anything like what I had(wife makes a bead ring that everyone just loves). I now have a back log of work to get out from just this one attempt. So from my experience talk too people you know they will lead to other sales just from wearing your pieces, so you would be wise to give them a break and tell them to tell their friends about you for the break. Just my 2 cents worth . Thanks George

Just a plain old brown paper bag in a 5 gallon bucket is what i use. Fold it over the out side edge pour in the oil wait works great. George

Hi John do you know what size rock you wish to cut. If you just want to cut small rocks most folks here seem to like the work force tile saw from home depot. I have a 12 inch slab saw that i picked up for 200 dllrs, its well used but cuts great. Some one will let you know about the work force here in a few I'm sure, lots on here use it. George

Hi Fbrain and welcome aboard you need to get a pm to gatter he is the one who started this. Look at the start of this thread. Having read the book and watched the DVDs I think the wait is well worth it. George BTW I like the pics of jade I think you need to post them in the general section also. They will be lightly viewed here and they are worthy of a bigger viewer ship. P.S. we like to ogle around here.

Hi all this book and DVD has just traveled around for over a year now. I am thinking of doing something to commemorate the passing of the first year mark lol. I do not Know just what yet this will be. I do Know that it has been an amazing trip I am sure. I did say first year it looks like it may make two years the way it has gotten handed off to each of us and how life has gotten involved along the way. Nine pages of good reading what an amazing bunch of great people we have on here. THANKS TIM AND TONY FOR STARTING THIS. George

Hi all the book is on its way too Parfive mailed it out Saturday. Sorry it took so long had to go out of town for a few days kind of threw things off a bit. Then I got in a hurry to get it out and left out some banded agates I told Parfive I would send him. In my defense I had a box that was going out to Daniel(deb193) the Jade box that I was getting together and the rocken cache box arrived the day before so it was some what cluttered. George
