Are those tumbled stones? (curious) Are you tumbling them yourself?

Yes they are tumbled. My husband Ken does all the sorting, tumbling and polishing. We have collected stones from every where we have been so we have alot to choose from. Right now I am just using them in there own shape. We haven't gotten into the cutting and faceting them as of yet. I am also working with a little bit of metal smithing. We are still just trying to get all the supplies and tools we need. You might say a little at a time.

You can cut and shape them with a tile saw, then tumble them in a vibe. (poor mans cabbing) I do it all the time. Thumblers UV-10 is probably the best vibe tumbler around. Forgot to mention, a tile saw can be had for less than $100 at Home Depot.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
