Here’s another gold pan full. I need to get another bucket to store this stuff. This saw blade is a beast. Alimajos, Bots and Swali agates. Here’s another pile.

They look super slick! Can not wait to see them tumbled Thanks. They’ll get trickled in as replacement material. The sawn nodules tumble pretty quick. Your thumbs HAVE to be sore!!! The start to some more amazing tumbles from you my friend! LOL. I’m actually getting some calluses on the tips of my thumbs. There are a couple teepee pieces in there that you sent. I’ve been slow to work on them. It’s tough to get the pretty parts isolated on teepee.

I’ve been slow to work on them. It’s tough to get the pretty parts isolated on teepee. That's fascinating. I didn't even see them in there until you said something...and now I can see them clear as day! My eyes keep getting drawn to those pieces showing the Botswana banding! So, when I started putting Teepee Canyon pieces into my "tumbling" bin, I never thought I'd be giving any away. The only reason they went into the potential tumbling bin is because I knew there was minimal banding...otherwise they would have been slabbed and cabbed. I do know it's going to be hit or miss tumbling those...sometimes they come out cherry and other times they're a pain...kinda the same with cabbing them.

That's an interesting saw you have. Can you give us some details? Is it self made or something else? Much spray?

The spray isn’t bad but it does tend to leak out the back where the splash guard attaches. A little strategically placed painters tape helps with that. The blade is a beast. I’ve peened the blade twice and it still cuts as good as new.
