Still Grinding
Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 12th May 2017
FedEx should stop by today! Very excited to try my new polishes. I do have a few lined up: Pinolith, Desert Storm and Peruvian Chrysocolla. The Alumina will be my first run and if that doesn't work I will try the other. The second is something completely different. We shall see if felt will work with these.
MoroccanWave Jasper is really tough stuff! My 2 flat spots are still quarter sized even tho it ran all all day yesterday. That was on the high speed machine too. It may need to take a rest while I use the machine for others today.
The Blood Stone Jasper is coming along. The flat spots are now nickel sized. Still hard material, not as bad as the Wave.
The Squirrel Tail Stromatolite is softer. That is running on the slowest machine. Still has 2 spots, it will get bumped once the polishes arrive.
alan still has not spent any time looking at the electric on the Richardson Ranch machine. Maybe this weekend? I certainly will not be holding my breath.......
The Tiffany stone sphere was on the machines yesterday. It has one really hard spot that didn't grind well. Back to hand grinding for this one. It currently has a nice egg shape.
Thanks for reading......
