    Re: Snakes and Stones

    Originally when I started rock tumbling I took a bunch of stones from my backyard and tossed them in the barrels to see what would/wouldn't tumble.
    I liquified about 75% of the rocks I tossed in (too soft/sedimentary), and a lot of them wouldn't hold a polish.
    I recently went back and ran these 'surviving' stones through my UV-18 vibe tumbler...much better now! (shown below)

    In the Fall spirit-I snapped a few photos today.
    I could add puns and and/or bad jokes, but, I am not going to (this time).

    Re: Snakes and Stones

    My mother saw the Halloween snake photos above and said 'You don't use that Wega Board do you?'
    Wega board eh? Sounds like an amusing video on YouTube I saw before:

    Anyhow,

    Re: Snakes and Stones

    I notice we broke 1.5M views! Thanks All! 2M here we come!

    In other news: during my travels today I saw this device pictured below:

    Took me a few minutes to figure out what it is considering it is a Scrimshaw piece.
    I am actually surprised there are quite a few designs of the time incorporating snakes.

    Anyone care to guess what it is?

    A distance measuring device? What a cool design, whatever it is!

    Oh wait, is it a pizza cutter?

    Awwwww so close! It is an old 'Pie Crimper'! (aka Jagging wheel)
    A quick Google Search will show that are actually several serpent-based ivory hand-carved designs--I never knew until today!

    Well I don't make pies OR pasta from scratch, so there ya go. Nothing for size reference either. But what a COOL design!

    It reminded me of some gadgets I've seen though-

    I know right!
    I bake every now and then and I have a set of pie crimpers too...I call those 'my fingers' and if I'm getting fancy: tines from a fork work as well...
