Using Power Tools to Cut and Polish Rocks
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 авг 2019
- This weeks video is me basically showing my first attempt at polishing some of the rocks I've collected while Rockhounding using an orbital sander/polisher and diamond polishing disks. As I polish I explain how I've learnt, and am still learning how to polish my agates, rhyolite and orbicular/spherical rhyolite for the first time using these polishing tools.
Tools and adapters used:
-Wet tile saw (I use a Clipper) with a diamond impregnated continuous blade.
-Diamond polishing pads (which can be found fairly cheap by searching on Ebay)
Grits - 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500 & 3000. *these must be used at an RPM no greater than 3000RPM.
-Variable speed orbital sander/polisher (I use an Ozito one but any will do as long as its variable speed, and set to the specifications of the polishing pads).
I first saw this style of polishing on Kevin nix's channel, please check out his beautiful work at the link below:

hi rookie, it may allready in your comments here somewhere,
- only use your tin oxide polishing powder on rocks with a smooth surface, not ones with too much pitting, or natural cavities
- remove your white powder residue with a medium toothbrush and soapy water, (you wont damage the polished surface, its too hard)
- only use velcro attached felt pads for your tin oxide polishing, turn your sander speed down to the lowest speed.
- consider getting a bench grinder, and fitting a stitched sisal wheel for it, it is also great for final polishing, buff the polished surfaces until warm, allmost hot
cheers, kev
Mate thank you Kev! Seriously, it’s cause of you I took this step in rock polishing, and of course, made this video, and I really am grateful and value your help. You’re a legend dude, just mega thank you!
Rookie Rockhounding
if you havent allready -
search for the velcro attached felt pads on ebay, they are relatively cheap
you can use them with
your polishing powder,
or, dry without powder
just a little water with a little polishing powder, just enough to make a paste.
kev
Kevin Nix oh gosh no, I didn’t know they made them. Man thanks dude! I’ll jump in that for sure. 👌👍
Just learned a lot, thanks Kevin!
I love how you leave a portion of the rock raw. Best of both worlds.
Ah that’s cool, that’s exactly why I do it 😉 it’s always good to see the comparison to appreciate the polish. 😉😉😉
I loved that too
You are an artist brother. I subscribed. I told my girlfriend..."man, I wanna play with rocks with that guy..." ; she said, "I know you do babe" as she kept knitting a pair of winter socks. We live in the desert in Arizona. Anyway...I respect your cutting and polishing style which I find unique and pretty expert for a "rookie".
Oh man, seriously Aidfine, even just reading your message made me wish I could cut rocks with you dude! Nothing like sharing the rock fun times with another rock fanatic 🤪
Man knitting and playing with rocks, you both are livin your best life and I love that! Much love to both of you mate!
I really love your humble attitude! You've done a great job on your rocks, and teaching ME how to do it! Thank you!
I busted out laughing so hard when that piece flew out of your hand. The look on your face was priceless. But hey, I got to give it to you. those are the most amazing looking rocks I have ever seen. Makes me want to run out and slice open every rock that i can find. It’s like treasure... but you don’t know what you get until you unwrap it
Hahaha! 🤣😂 yeah, I didn’t expect that to happen 😳🤨 haha! Thanks Dena 😉
Ah brother, thank you for sharing the adventure! 👍That carnelian stand and the banded rhyolite with the agate plate topping are freaking sweet like candy~ You really did such a great job working those smaller pieces on the orbital sander, kudos my friend~ I had to laugh when the first day ran out, had the same realization the first time I worked through a couple specimen. 🤦♂️😂 Also, am glad i am not the only one who's been "grabbed" by a buffing wheel..Doh!😁 Heck, i've sent some 5m across the yard? haha My friend, think other's would agree that I just love your enthusiasm and really hope you enjoyed the process as much as I do! For me...Headphones with cool tunes, nice refreshing drink, warm sunshine and beautiful mother earth just waiting to expose her magic bits for each of us to see! And the cleanup is just the icing on the cake! Thanks again for bringing us fun, entertaining, informative videos sir, hope you have a super weekend ahead~
Backcountry with Shaughn
Heyyyy mate! I’m so glad you liked them dude!
Oh funny thing, I actually edited it out because it went too long, but I had headphones on listening to music, and BOOM! The machine grabbed them 😳 had to get a new pair of pants pretty much haha! Note to self: tuck everything in. Everything! Haha!
Man I loved the beauties you polished! They were huge and shiny and full of just gorgeous stuff that you could look at for days and never get bored!
Love your work man👍
I popped the vid in my “other peoples rad rock videos” playlist to share it round. As with all your others as well haha 👍
Have a great weekend my friend!
@@Rookie_Rockounding That's freaking brilliant funny my friend~ haha I bet I would've left some stains myself. 🤦♂️Always an adventure for sure! Thanks again for the nice comment and support as always. The benefits of living close to such sources I guess~ 🤷♂️😎 Was watching your video again and realized that I've never made a majestic carnelian TOWER such as your tasty marvel and now have agate envy! 😜🌶 But you've given me some great directions idea wise (inspiration is what they call it I think?) of what to do with some of the larger chunks of chalcedony/banded/waterline agates! I'll be an obelisk making fiend and have you to thank for the inspiration! 👀 Lot's of sphere's, obelisks, slabs and cabs to you my rockhounding RUclipsr friend! Enjoy your weekend~
Keith from Nashville, Tennessee. You are doing great job. My Dad was a rock hound in Louisiana. I ended up with his six wheel diamond polisher and saws. It is therapy for sure. Beautiful rocks. He did all kinds of marketable stuff but I especially liked wind chimes from bits and pieces of thin slices of banded agate.
Thank you Keith, sorry to hear about your father, I imagine using his machine would feel like a bit of a connection to him. The wind chimes sounds like a great idea too. I’ll have to attempt that one day for sure. Happy hounding over there brother!
The bold push the boundaries and explore new ways. All the curves and all the edges, all the perfect imperfections 🎶
Man, that’s a rad comment, thank you my rock brethren!
Rookie Rockhounding thank you for the inspiration.
A great way to polish the flats is to secure a piece of cut denim to a block, spray the denim with water and put the tin oxide or other polish on the wet denim. Then, just rub the flat surface of the stone on the flat surface of the wet denim until you get the polish you want. "michiganrocks" did it with a Petoskey stone in one of his youtube videos. Also, when cleaning the nooks and crannies of rocks, like you're doing at 7:26, a waterpick is very helpful, if a bit messy. Another great video.
Joe Hurly
Hey joe! Thank you so much for the help! Really appreciate it 🙏😉
Yeah “Michigan rocks” rocks 😁
I caught myself just smiling while you were sanding. . . . I love rocks.
Haha! That’s the best reaction I could ask for G 👍
Wow great way to do it!! I still think you should sell some of your finds to us fans! What a treat that would be~getting an austrialian stone!! Then we can post pics back to you after we cut and polish and finish💕💕. Extra money for you to pay for all your equipment and travels!!
Heyyyyyy! Oh I would love to but I’d feel bad making people pay for them. I have to send a few packages to people who have already sent me some so I think once I do that, I’d like to maybe pick a comment from each video I do and send a rock to them. Like one each video or something. It’d be a cool way of saying thank you. But I love your idea! And it would be so cool to see what people do with them. Thank you for the great idea Lisa!!! Hopefully when I can get a bit more organised I can start doing that. Or even just selling them for the cost of shipping or something. 🤔
Nice. You gave me some ideas on how to polish and cut my stones without those expensive machines. Thank you.
Erika Tep Ruiz
Haha! Yeah, it can be done 😊
Wow! Super awesome results! Keep the videos coming!
You did a great job... love the rocks!!!
For someone that is just learning, you did an excellent job at polishing!
Now, if I may suggest,
You would have better control of your machine if you had it on the table, that being said, build a vice or jig using scrap wood, Build it with a base big enough to keep it from tipping over, you can start with a flat piece of plywood using metal or fabric straps, strap it to the plywood, (you can make it so you can take it off easy using screws) leave the trigger open so you can get to it, and don't forget about the button to keep it on without holding the trigger, If you don't have any straps you can use wood to built around the machine to hold it down,
Also with a (C clamp) and 2 very thin but strong pieces of wood, like 1×2's about 1' long, you can hold your larger rocks easily, put 2 flat skinny 1"×2"×1' (1 inch by 2 inches by 1foot) pieces of wood in the (C clamp), position the stone in a spot (Somewhere between the end of the wood and the C clamp) where it will be wide enough, Tighten the C clamp and it will hold your rock without scratching it, If you have to, use small pieces of cloth between the wood and the stone. Remember always test everything before you actually use it on your good rocks.
Sorry if that was a bit long but I tried my best to explain without pictures, and I hope I don't offend you with my suggestion.
Awesome video man thank you.
Ps. One other thing, You can run your hose with a drip, drip of water to keep the pads wet, It will also keep the dust down and out of your lungs!
Love the suggestion. I think I may try that! Just recently hurt my arm so I was trying to figure a way to still be able to work without hurting it further. This sounds like it'll do the trick! 😎👍
@@MarlainaAtkins thank you, You can tweak the design to fit what you need just be creative.👍✌
AMERICANREBEL !
Well hells bells that my friend is brilliant! Thank you man! Thank you so much for takin the time to explain that for me. I need to set up a little work bench in my massively unorganised shed and do this. You are a legend!
Seriously I really really appreciate the help 😉👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@Rookie_Rockounding 35 years of marble and stone work in houses kinda help's to, just take your time building it and don't expect to get it right the first time, oh yeah, a little patients help's to, LOL!
Good luck with it and keep me posted on your progress, I will help you anyway I can.
Do you have email and would that help if I give you my email?
So pretty. Nice work!
Love your grinder and all the really nice looking disk. Really cool process, I was going to ask to see this process, so I'm glad you shared it. These turned out beautiful!
You did an awesome job. Well done.
I was hoping that you would post soon just the other day and now boom 💥 Thanks man!
Wrap that crazy buffing wheel in a tight leather sleeve, wet it, then rub a slurry of your buffing compound into. My back-porch lapidary setup includes a palm sander with thick leather (loaded with 600 grit alum. ox.) instead of sandpaper. Cheap and works great. I'm pretty sure it's the long hair causing the problems.
But DOOD! These are some beautiful beautiful beautiful treasures!
Mychael Lee
Thank you mate! I really really appreciate your help and advice! Have an awesome weekend brother!
Great job with the free-form cuts, great results!
Great video 👍🔥🔥🔥👏 those are some beautiful rocks.
So beautiful! The amazing things that come out of the ground 😍
This video never gets old. Ramping up the learning getting ready to dive in!💜🌈👊🏼🧻😷🤣
Ha! That’s awesome! Sorry I’m so late at the replies lately, catching up now 🤦♂️😆
I hope you’re doing well over there mate. And happy polishing!!!
Love this video! Thanks for all the beautiful rocks
Those were absolutely amazing. Such beautiful pieces. Loved the colors and the variations in the banding. Great job. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for sharing. Davin
Davin Kates
Thanks davin mate! Have a brilliant weekend 😉👍
Been watching your videos, and I like that you share the mistakes with the triumphs. From one rock hound to another, great inspiration!
Just subscribed. Thank you so much for shearing! Warm hugs from Portland Oregon...
Thank you Lina, and the same to you from Australia 😉😁
Yay! A new video 👏 Love the way they turned out, your patience with all the different steps certainly paid off. Someone will be sporting the most ‘Fabulous’ specimens in their rock cabinet. Now I will have to patiently wait the two weeks to see what you do next. 🙃
betojdesigns
Haha! I know right, the two weeks takes forever but I’d run out of things to show I reckon 😂
Might try and pop a sneaky mid-fortnight little mailtime vid up this week. Maybe. See how the edits go 🤞
I've been waiting finally!!! you've obviously been practicing those look really good man I'm about halfway through the video right now so I'll comment again at the end!
Love your work 💗
Nice results. Well on your way to becoming a journeyman rock hound.
Thank for the videos man. Getting into polishing my finds & really appreciate the mentoring.
Hi Jesse, use felt pads on Velcro instead of the whooly attachment, there is way less chances of the rock flying away like that. also, if you dont like the mess you can easily make a flat lap and use the sander/polisher as the motor. I will upload a video on my channel this evening so you can refer to it in case you decide you wanna give it a go.I also have the full build on Mackay rocks and fossils Group which goes a bit more in depth.
Joseph Silva
Hey Joseph, man thank you so much for the info. I’m going to be trying this for sure. And I’ll check out that video tonight! I really really appreciate the help mate. 👍👍👍👍
Hi Jesse, my pleasure. I have uploaded the video, if you need any info just ask. Cheers
Joseph Silva
Man I just watched it! It’s amazing! I never thought about using it as a flat lap.... but you nailed that! Thank you so much mate. And the rocks and mineral collection is beautiful!
@@Rookie_Rockounding Cheers Bud
I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your rock and gem adventures with us all. You are awesome. And you have some beautiful stones. I cant wait to try cutting and polishing some of my own! 🙆♀️💎🎉
Nice job they turned out great love the orange carnelian 💯🔥
Fantastic video, Rook!! Once you bought the saw, I was expecting a video like this and more to come I am sure. You really did a great job!!
Mc Googlio
Haha! Yeah once I got the saw it was inevitable 😉👍
You've done a wonderful job on these.
icatz
Thank you 😊👍
Great Jobs mates! Thanks for the lessons and sharing with us.
winnievanorden1
Thanks Winnie! Always so much fun😉
AWESOME job mate! You brought out ALOT of the natural beauty in those rocks! Keep on doing what you're doing!
Thank you Roxann!!!! 😊
Love them, great job! Good day from Sunset beach, NC😊⛱🌊
Is it just me or does he remind you of Heath Ledger... 😂😂😂 Asheboro NC
Thanks for the tips! going to give my first try this weekend!
Your videos make me so relaxed and content. Best channel ever. Thanks for everything man 🙏🏼 keep it up
Victoria Petras
Oh Victoria thank you so much! That really makes me happy 😁👍
You did a great job! I am enjoying the difference between the way the minerals/gems look before and after the work was done. It helps me appreciate the beauty even more.
Just great woek! Beautiful finish! I'm learning a lot! Thankbyou for this very helpful video! Keep shooting! 👍😍
Well done Sir! You're Inspiring Rookie, keep up these Top Shelf videos!
This was really informative and helpful and the rocks turned out great. I like watching a beginner too and this dude is funny. What a killer backyard!
You did a great job!!! I love how they turned out.
Wow, the orange-red chalcedony one is absolutely breathtaking lol, can't wait to see more of you going out and finding more of those beautiful pieces!
Backup67601 66
Thanks backup 👍
Hope to be heading out soon 😉 I can’t wait myself to be honest haha! Have a good one 😉
@@Rookie_Rockounding that's great to hear, at least someone is getting out there lol. Can't wait to see your next video, if not for the rocks, it'll be your golden personality! Take care and good luck man
Those look really good. Nice rocks with a nice polish. I think you’ve gotten some good advice about better things to try for that final polish. Honestly, I haven’t completely figured that out myself. I agree with all of those who told you that you need something with less fluff and a firmer backing. From what I’ve read, different polishes and different pads (leather, felt, denim, carpet, etc) work for different types of rock.
Michigan Rocks
Hey dude, yeah there is so much good advice being shared. I’m so grateful. I’m gonna need to rig up some of the ideas to give it a try. I still need to buy a grinding cup before I make a start on the bigger ones. Slowly but surely I’ll get there.
Oh and dude how rad was that jasper in your vid!!! Just woah 😳👌
Rookie Rockhounding you’d need one heck of a cup grinder for that jasper.
What a great personality. Just a fun journey watching the stages and seeing the beauty come out in the stones. Great video. That gets a sub for sure
Hey thank you Kristy! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and hope you like the many more to come 😁👍
These turned out awesome 😍
Tori Lynne
Thanks Tori 😁👍
Thanks for this video showing how you reveal the true beauty hidden in the rocks. Makes me want to go looking for pretty rocks too.
this video was awesome! You really blew me away with the beautiful pieces you created they are very artistic chunky and shiny really dig your style
Travs Guide
Heyyy dude thank you Trav, that’s so cool to hear man. Thanks old school homey
Nice job! They look awesome.
Thank you Tam Tam
Am writing this comment before even seeing the video i bet i will get jealous and stuff and then go to my mancave and start working on my gemstones 😂👌🏻
After watching the video all i can say my man am so proud of u keep up the good work and have an amazing weekend ❤️😇 love how they ended up looking 😍😍
Nikito Vitch
Oh thank you so much Nikito, that’s really cool mate
Thank you so much, i found interest in working Stones recently, while your guide is such a helper. Bless you
Love your channel. It's refreshing to see your honesty and I love your voice. I'm just beginning to learn myself. Keep on Rockin my friend!
Thank you Kim! Good luck and happy collecting 😁
Awesome job. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Thank you, I love having you all along for the ride. 👍
@@Rookie_Rockounding , your welcome...
I learn more about stones from watching your channel, meMiner and Quest for Details... and I'm intrigued by addicted to Rocks..
Dude, this is amazing. I've definitely subscribed! You're a fun guy to listen to and this video is perfect for me, where I am in my rockhounding quest. Thanks, man! Invaluable!
Hey thank you so much mate! I hope the videos are helpful bud. Now with this machine it’s super good, but there’s other options as well. Like flat laps etc. I know a lot of people transition pretty quickly from this method to a flat lap. It might cost a bit more but could make for better results. For bigger rocks though, this is a great method. Even for smaller ones. I’m still using it after 3 years 🤪 all the best and let me know if you hav want questions bud. I try super hard to answer as many comments as possible. 🤘
I am so happy to have stumbled upon your video. I have forever been obsessed with stones and rocks. It's wonderful to see someone else to share the same hobby...
Thanks for sharing, really enjoyed seeing what's possible for the home enthusiast!
Dude! Great VO! Plus the awesomeness of the polishing! Another hit m8! 9:56 what a piece! It's also cool to see you trying something I've never done!
Thirst Fast
Yeah man, I really love that piece. It’s got it all, AND it’s from a broken piece that someone left behind. How rad is that!
Oh I love this, I have always thought there was a secret to polishing rocks with out tumbling and often wondered what people used! Thought polishing Compunds for sure, they all turned out beautiful!
It’s such a great way to relax 😉
Mav, what a beautiful mirror finish! Great job!!! 😊
lizzymoore54
Hey Lizzy! Thank you 😊😊😊👍👍👍
OH WOW! They turned out beautifully! Learning how to do it is some fun as you don't have bad habits yet and open to ideas. Nice job ty for sharing and teaching .
Hey Sare, yeah it’s seriously so much fun. I love the relaxation of it. With headphones of course 😂
You did a beautiful job mate, awesome work and yes you learn as you go. Everyone who has ever polished stones have mess ups, that's just how you learn. They came out beautifully. I'm trying to set up a system right now to keep the dust out of my shop. So keep up the awesome work, I hope you have a wonderful weekend mate, Cheers!
These turned out beautifully!! Amazing job! I found your channel just a few days ago and I've been watching every day -- I've got Generalized Anxiety Disorder and your videos are so soothing. Your voice is so charming!
They've also inspired me to go back to rock collecting in my own area (southern California) and I've already scouted and planned a great spot near a gem mine (public land, though). I can't wait to go explore! Thanks for your inspiring videos!
Thank you Melisa! Thank you for sharing your story and I’m so glad you’re able to get some relaxation to help with the Anxiety Disorder. That really makes me happy. I wish you all the best and will see you round 😁👍
So helpful, you have given me confidence to cut more of my collection and actually polish them. Cheers 😊
Yay!!! That’s awesome Angela!
Thank you so much Rookie..I am the rookies of the rookies and after just watching a few of your videos I have learned and been inspired to get more equipment and really enjoy myself..rocks rock!
Thank you for making this!! I had searched and searched for a video like this for weeks and yours is the most clear and concise. Also your voice is really soothing!
Oh that’s so good! Thank you!
Wow amazing first attempts!
Right there with ya! Ive just started this journey as well. Your results are beautiful!
Oh that’s awesome! All the best Patti!
good job rookie, looks like this technique has opened up a whole new world for you ! 👍
Thanks Kev, massively thank you for your knowledge sharing too mate. Popped a link to your channel in the description too.
Just found your channel. I am really enjoying your videos! Rocks are so amazing and beautiful. It's so fun watching your curiosity, joy, and amazing attitude. Not to mention the beautiful, beautiful rocks!
Interesting thank you for sharing 💙😊gotta try this, working with rocks is always a learning experience
I like your style, I'm purchasing a tile saw tomorrow. 👍
Very, very informative! Thanks!
Nice work ☺
These are AMAZING!!!!!😭 Awesome video!
A lot of work Jesse and great results. I am loving your collection!
Thank you Mark 😊👍
Ok wow!!! Incredible rocks!!!
I love the approach you take to your videos. humble, educating and, judging by the comments & my own experience, super inspiring too! Thank you 🌻
Thank you rah rah, you are too kind 😊
Awesome job for your first try. My heart sank when they went flying off the polisher, glad they made it!♥️
Petersen
Haha yeah, so did mine😳😳😳 🤣
So glad they were still okay 😉
Very nice sir! I really like how you beveled the corners, look classy.
David Middlebrooks
Hey thanks mate, I like that, “looks classy” 😉
Awesome job!! Beauties for sure especially the carnelian agate !! Would love to go hounding with you and Benny
Nancy Thompson
thank you Nancy 😉👍
Dude you are amazing and so humble those are beautiful. You just lit me up and filled me with a desire to do this. God bless and I look forward to more of your videos!!! 😁💙
Nice Work Brother...Love your stuff kick on love it
Thanks brother!!!! Have a rad weekend mate!
Nice work for the first time. I’m impressed at the shiny bits, and want to get a collection of my own to follow in your foot steps.
Zwolfie 42
Thank you Zwolfie 😉👍
This is so very cool....I just love it!!!!!
Vintage Time
Thank you mate 😉👍
Dude welcome to the next step in Pour Addiction! Hahaha. Once you see them polished you're hooked for life! I absolutely love this assortment of specimens! They are breathing! I agree with trying rogue compound. It comes in red or green according to I think types of material. I know you can order from Ebay. But great job bro. The banded rhyolite w/carnelian is spectacular! I'm a jealous girl. But I've just cut some Chrysocolla I brought back from Arizona. It's so beautiful. Thanks again for sharing. And the links. You're the best bro!
So so so true. It's relaxing and exciting all in the same hobby!!!
I love it
gina lanning
Heyyyyyy G! Haha yeah the addiction has taken on another form 🤣 it was so relaxing doing this. I can’t wait to do more! Which one was your fav? I haven’t forgotten the package. 😉
@@Rookie_Rockounding I really loved them all. Anything with strange patterns. I just love any of the rhyolite blends. Looking forward to the next installment.
Wow really nice ....I Love rockhounding....and now watching how easy I see to make them look so awesome am gonna start doing my own .....Thanks for making this video...really really nice .
Thanks mate! Yeah it’s so fun making them shiny. It does take a couple hours but it’s pretty satisfying 😉
Love it all your work
I have already been watching Kevin nix for a bit now.
Yeah he’s a good dude, and a master at this stuff.
You must feel good about the way they look for ya first attempt..very satisfying when your completed from start to finish!👍 Woa!.. Ah ha ha!😁😂 .. I soon learnt my lesson on the bench grinder in High School in Plastics work buffing...place it in the right spot with a firm grip or the darn thing comes flying out like a missile!🚀 444444...run away lol.😀😁😂 Have a great weekend B1🍌
Katherine Doughty
Hey Kath! Haha! Yeah, that happened more than twice let’s just say editing helps me look like I know sorta what I’m doing hahaha!
Hope you’re keeping well and having a great weekend mate!!!!!!
Ah ha ha! Magic!😂 Well I can honestly say your rocks look great & you really have advanced big time. But yeah thanks for the laugh! I could relate..funny! Least no one or animals were injured in the making of this film. 😁 👍
Bloody Wind! 😨
Katherine Doughty
Haha yeah, no rocks humans or animals were harmed 🤦♂️ luckily!!!
And heck I know right! This wind is nuts! It’s meant to get real cold tonight too I think. Stay warm Kath!!!!
Yep! I'll be right recently got myself an elecy blanket..don't know why I didn't get one years ago. Bloody Beautiful. 🔥👍
Good old Kevin, he’s a fountain of knowledge that man! Bought a few pieces off him to play with/keep.
Yeah he’s a rock wizard I reckon 😉👍
Seriously love it. Currently on the hunt for rock cutting tools, my bf and I are huge rockhounders! So ready to start cutting, I’m so excited!
Yesssss! All the best and have a blast Elizabeth!
Mate, you've got to get yourself out west to Chinchilla (3.5 hrs west of Brissie) and pick up some of the petrified wood that is laying around all over the place out there. There's loads of stuff you can cut with your tile saw and the rocks have great color inside, great wood grain pattern and that take an awesome polish. You'd love it! Love your videos and your enthusiasm.
Hey MD! Thanks for the tip mate, I’ll have to let Benny know and we can plan a day trip out there! Sounds beautiful 👌
So awesome!
I'm inspired. I've done a lot of collecting, no cutting or polishing yet.
Cheers brother 👍👍👍
