Re: This Made My Day/Improved My Day Thread! - Luinbariel - 01-04-2012
The first stage of tumbling a bunch of rocks is complete!
They've finished tumbling for about a week in the coarser grit, and have moved on to a finer grit, and after another week or so of that, will move on to actual polishing.
Here are some pictures of the stones as I washed them off. They look polished already, but they're just wet. This is a good indication of how they'll look when they are all done being polished though. This is all stuff I've gathered myself.
Here's a sample of what I tumbled. This includes: one piece of amethyst from Thunder Bay. One piece of really yellow jasper. Several agates. One piece of possible smoky quartz. One unknown green thing. One piece of really white quartz from the lake.
Strange green rock
Smoky quartz
A really neat little agate
An even neater big agate

also are you softening them yourself? is that what this 'tumbling' thing is, so you can smooth out the rocks/stones themselves?

Tumbling is putting them in a device akin to a cement mixer with different sand like substance mixtures in the drum with the rocks, that's what does the smoothing. It's like making sea glass in a few weeks as opposed to a few years.

Luin, is the plan for you to use these polished stones in your crafts/jewelry?
Re: This Made My Day/Improved My Day Thread! - Didzo - 01-05-2012
My second grade teacher had rock tumblers. She also had us do a project on spiders. The results were spiders being brought in to class (I once caught a black widow to bring in) and many large excavation sites in the slope running from the black top to the field. Digging was quickly banned, needless to say.
I do have a cool little tumbled rock though!

Eventually I would like to.
I've been wanting a damned rock tumbler for as long as I can remember, just because I love to see them all polished up. But now that I've had a quick tutorial from a local rock guy on how to actually cut them and ready them for jewellery, I'm thinking I might.
I don't want to have to wire-wrap everything because that's a huge pain in the ass, but it would be nice to have a few of the smaller pieces, like the agates perhaps, drilled for use as beads.
Funbucks: Yeah just using a tumbler. It would take a year and a day to do all of that polishing by hand alone.
It's as Kirby said. Mine has two barrels, but I'm only running one right now (saving the second one strictly for the final polish stage). You fill it to about half or 2/3 full of stones, add a few tablespoons of silicon carbide grit. The size of the grit depends on the stage: for the first stage you use a larger grit for a week or so, then after that a slightly smaller one, then another smaller one, and then your polish stage. They don't actually STAY shiny until you go through all the stages. They just look nice like that in my pictures because they are wet.
Once you have the rocks in the tumbler with some water, it just turns over and over at a slow pace for a week or so. It simulates what would happen to the stones if they were caught in a river or something like that, polishing them faster and in a similar manner.

There was a story over here of someone who did the same so he could park wherever he wanted because it looked like someone was inside the car. It worked for over 3 years

It's not a bad reader. I wish I waited and got a Kindle myself.

If the roads weren't so poorly planned, and the terrain didn't make it so hard to plan, we wouldn't need HOV lanes.
Also, stayed up (again) until 5 with the same girl I've been complaining about. Apparantly I wasn't as careful as I thought and she thought I hated her, and then my roommates girlfriend came to visit, so we thought it would be a good idea for me to sleep on the floor in her room. I'm definitely feeling better and I'm really glad we're still friends and its not totally awkward.
I still think we could have had something, but what do I know...
But I have to say, she kept subtly making more and more physical contact while we were just layin' there. Probably the same thing that confused me towards the beginning of all this. Whattup mixed signals (although they confuse me less now, slash don't really matter to me any more).

I just had mine in for the same damn thing. I was getting a lot of sputtering at idle and not as much power at WOT. Torn lower intake boot and sucking in unmetered air for the lose

Until then, here's my friend's RX7 build: http://www.norotors.com/index.php?topic=494.0
Canadians can import any car from anywhere, as long as it is 15 years old. There are so many Skylines, RX7s, Fairladys, MR2s, Aristos, etc here it will boggle the mind.
$7k R32 GTR anyone?
