Yep. I actually inherited it about 3 years ago from the person that built it. I've made a few tweaks to it, but it has been a great machine to learn on!
Way cool sphere! I want to start making them. In the meantime I tumble polish. What do you do with all your scraps from cutting the chunks down to your preform?
what a chunk, awesome colors!
That is an awesome process holy crap.
Looked like you bought that chunk in AZ we’re at if you don’t mine. I love that machine
I bought it at Jim Gray’s Petrified Wood in Holbrook, Arizona. Just outside of Petrified Forest National Park.
Woah is that a homemade sphere machine?

Thanks! The bigger pieces I slab and cut cabs from. The smaller stuff goes into my tumblers.
What kind of glue are you using to stabilize your rocks?
I use Starbond.
I'm in taylorsville and have too much rock. Would you be willing to meet up and talk to me about spheres? I have a lot of questions. Thank you.
