Such a kind thing to do! It's rewarding to encourage a young rockhound. There's so much more than rocks to enjoy about the hobby. 😊

[@sandraanderson217]

How do you say you are a parent without saying you are❤
You Sir are an amazing parent! Knew I liked this channel for more than shiny rocks❤! I love seeing your boys on the beach with you learning about something that interests you. A fantastic learning experience for them and family time for you.

Hello I wanted to let u that you you always teach me so much things to look for but my problem is that I’m in S.E, Ky a place called Harlan an we have nothing for my to cut cu z I got a saw … so what would u do to start ur journey

[@RockhoundingLife]

You can always buy some rocks from the rock shed or kingsley north. Both are excellent in that they provide a large variety of rough rock.

[@Harpin519]

What kind of grinder wheel is that please

[@RockhoundingLife]

It is an 8"inch cabking

[@willb3513]

Legend i can't help thinking that you sound like Ricky from trailer park boys

[@derrickfoster644]

What Ricky did after sobering up.

[@willb3513]

Exactly it's sober Ricky 😅

[@danhughes6373]

Interesting content, love how you don’t focus on one aspect with your videos but give a shot on many of the different parts of the hobby.
Cheers from Hubtown!

[@patriciastanke2264]

What a special thing you & her mom are doing 🩷

[@RufotrisRootedRockhound]

Great video that was needed by many. I have had a handful of people ask me if I did anything before tumbling stones. I haven’t tumbled much so I always refer them to other channels for tips. But I have used my flat lap to pre-round stones before tumbling and it’s a great time saver.
I’ll add this video to the list of handy video links to share around when people ask about tumbling. 🤘
Still watching…

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks for watching and sharing!

[@RyanWeishalla]

Definitely a lot easier to prep with the cabbing machine. I’ve done a little on my tumbled rocks with a rotary tool before having a cabber. It was a nice thing you did for the young lady.

[@RockhoundingLife]

The cabbing machine makes it easier but you can do it with any flat lap.

[@jonnsgirl]

What a sweet thing to do 😊. Thanks for the great info as always!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Our pleasure!
