    Solid advice about checking your work as you go.

      I should start making a slideshow of "what do you see" when it comes to rocks haha

    Great polish without the cerium. Not needed. Yes the rock looks like a grouper. Tasty! Lots of good information you passed on. The one thing you forgot is the rougher the grit the longer the time is spent on that wheel. Keep the goodness coming. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒

    • @WorldofRockhounds
      @WorldofRockhounds  Před 2 lety

      That is true, especially if you start with the 80 grit or lower. Then you spend a LOT of time removing those previous marks.

    I agree with Ken, it looks like a piranha and a beautiful one at that! Super nice polishing job!

    aaaand that will be $50 for the polishing lesson.😂😂. That stuff took a wicked shine! what a nice guy that Kurt feller is for hooking you up with that. Hope the household is all done with the colds! your voice sounding back to normal.👍🏻.

      By now, we are all done being sick. It felt like a couple months of just non stop crud. Finally happy to feeling normal again!

    Thanks Kurt, what an awesome piece. Great polish job Kyle, it turned out beautiful. Love the rose quartz pieces too. Thanks for sharing your passion!

      @WorldofRockhounds  Před 2 lety

      Once the rose quartz is all done, I plan on showing those off as well. They are just taking a little while to get done :)

    @betojdesigns Před 2 lety +3

    It does look like a little fish with a yellow eye 👁. Nice polish, as expected from you. You the boss of those wheels, and always get a magnificent shine. 👏

    That gloss at the end is gorgeous!! You can really tell the difference when you do the 3000!

    • @WorldofRockhounds
      @WorldofRockhounds  Před 2 lety

      Some stones look amazing at the 3k wheel but others do need to have a cerium oxide finish :)

    Very nice finish. Cool material looks similar to some of the stuff I find in SoCal. Those fractures are always a pain.

    • @WorldofRockhounds
      @WorldofRockhounds  Před 2 lety

      Thank you and sometimes I just work with what I have and live with the fractures :)

    Hi mild Kyle, 😉, nice polishing job on that piece from Kurt. Have you already done a rundown on the equipment in your workshop. I was scoping out your equipment as it looks like a pretty neat setup. I can’t remember if I had seen one on your channel or not.
    Keep Safe & Keep Rockin

    • @WorldofRockhounds
      @WorldofRockhounds  Před 2 lety +1

      Howdy! and thank you!
      I did a shop tour not too long ago where I think I went over all the equipment that have. :)

    • @silverback5033

    • @WorldofRockhounds
      @WorldofRockhounds  Před 2 lety

      I've been trying to find a reasonably priced one to purchase since the small ones I've seen in stores for around $15 but I'm trying to find one that's more affordable to cover!
