Michigan Rocks
США
Добавлен 6 окт 2006
Michigan Rocks is about rock hunting, rock polishing, and lapidary arts. Most of my rock hunts are on beautiful Great Lakes beaches. The rocks I tumble and work with are not all from Michigan, but most of the outdoor videos are.
Hi, I'm Rob. I have been learning about rocks and how to polish them for over ten years. I have several tutorials on how to use a rock tumbler. I also have a series called "Rocks in a Box" where I show rocks that I have tumbled in the past. Besides tumbling, I slab rocks, make jewelry and do other creative projects. I'll do my best to teach you what I know.
You can expect more outdoor videos during the spring, summer, and fall and more indoor lapidary videos during the long Michigan winters. I post every Friday and some Tuesdays.
I am not a geologist, so I'll identify rocks I recognize and admit when I don't know what something is. There is a lot I don't know, so I hope to learn some from my viewers. I think we have a pretty good community growing here.

Agate Hunting at Calumet Waterworks Park
Sam and I walked for two or three miles at Calumet Waterworks Park in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula in search of the elusive Lake Superior agate. We found a few too!

Today I'm polishing a 12.5 pound Petoskey Stone. It's always a little hard to tell if one this rough will turn out or not, but you'll just have to watch the video to find out. I used the following polishing pad grits: 30, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500, 3000. HISEA sent me a free pair of waders that I'm wearing in this video.

What Is the Optimal Amount of Grit to Use in a Rock Tumbler?
Can you tell me a good place that an old lady like myself can go to find some petosky stones and pudding stones that I can wonder around without getting myself into trouble for trespassing or stealing? I live in MN. and have looked everywhere that I know of, I went to Leland to try and find Leland blue, no luck at all, not even a small piece of it. LOL! I tried a couple of roadside stops in MI, but no luck. So I thought that I would try asking who I call my rock hero for some ideas or suggestions? Please and thank you?
How much money are you asking for that rocks?
Why not just cover it in epoxy resin?
I personally prefer nova wheels.
Wowww very 🫰🫰🫰🫰❤️❤️❤️
So pretty 💯😘
How did you know all those fossils were in that rock in the beginning?
С последнего надо было начинать и им же заканчивать. Другие не использовать.
Amazing! Beautiful! Would love to have one of those for a paper weight! And very unique up here in Canada!
Божечки, красота 😮

Hei, What the liquite
Hey, Rob. Got time for a bunch of questions? The "Lortone barrel guides" at 1:09 - are those still working well for you? Do you get metal dust and wear on the threaded knobs, and do the barrel guides get 'sharpened' over time to a knife-like edge? Inspired by your creation, I made a simpler less-ambitious table top version that can hold five barrels. The barrels eventually wander over to the edge in operation, and rub up against the support wall. I installed some small "sacrificial" pieces of Teflon, which work to protect the barrels, but I end up with Teflon dust. Does your motor get hot? Do you have to cool it with a fan? Do you let it run 24/7 when you are away for a day or two or longer? I used a fractional horsepower motor I had in my stash, which worked fine, but it got pretty hot, and I was worried about leaving it running unattended. I reconfigured the motor to run on 240V (by following the wiring diagram on the motor), and it runs much cooler on 120V, although it's power output is much lower. It needs a push to get started, but seems to run reliably once started. I let it sit stalled for a few hours, and it didn't get hot, so I feel much better about leaving it unattended. By the time I finished the project and went to buy some more barrels, just my luck, Lortone went out of business and the barrels were very hard to find and I was unable to buy all I wanted. Do you use Lortone barrels? Some quick searching leads me to believe that competitor barrels are considered to be much inferior.
Oh my goodness, that rootbeer agate was beautiful.
I wanna do this to my brain
Did you know it's against the law to take Petoskey stones?
