Yes!! You remind me of my two oldest brothers they are both very organized and neat and everything has its place. One of my brothers is a lover of working with wood and the other one loves working with Harley, Davison‘s and every tool has its place. I am 56 and have a craft room but have gotten sick with MS and fibromyalgia and had to sell everything but I’m sticking with my rock tumbling because that’s something I can still do. I enjoy watching the way you store and keep your rocks. I am very much a beginner I started in December 2022 when I came across boxes and boxes of fossils and rocks in my mom’s attic! Since then I’ve been hooked, but it’s taking me a long time to learn the different rocks and minerals that make up the rocks. I’ll keep watching your channel and hopefully I’ll keep growing in wisdom. I did take pictures of cleaned up wet rocks. They’re all like 8“ x 60” Etc. I also have smaller rocks but I was wondering if you knew where I could send pictures of my larger rocks to find out what they are. I appreciate any help or direction you can give me God bless and take care. Have a wonderful, blessed day and if you’re hunting for rocks, Isaac can say is I wish I were there I live in California and our creek beds are all dried up here in the desert live just west of Bakersfield California.

@williamcosner5283 2 года назад

I found your channel while looking for tutorials on rock tumbling. I enjoy your detail both in the finding and finishing. And now what to do with finished rocks. I inherited a tumler tumbler from my younger brother and my dad 35 years ago. My son was 9 then. But we never got started then. Recently I was helping my younger brother at the sale of his mom’s estate and a lady showed him a “tupper ware” bowl and asked if the rocks were included for 1$ marked on the lid. My brother looked at the rocks and at me and said he and Dad had tumbled them many years ago. He said he would not be able to get them back across the country did I want them. Our father was a geologist and really loved rocks, the natural world, and camping. (Reminds me why I like your channel). I accepted the rocks gratefully. When I showed them to my son and my grandchildren it was my 10 year old granddaughter that enjoyed them most. I told you all this to tell you the use we found for some of the polished rocks, the ones smaller than a dime, the girl likes to play mancala. It is usually played with 48 small glass beads. My granddaughter and I were able find 5 sets of 48 stones each in that bowl the right size to play mancala with. So if you have 48 small polished rocks make or buy a mancala board. Touching my Dads polished rocks never fails to bring a smile to my face even when one of the grandchildren just beat me at mancala. Thank you for your art. Once a good teacher always a good teacher.

@MichiganRocks 2 года назад

It's funny that you mentioned mancala. I'm a recently retired teacher. Another teacher once asked me if I'd make some mancala stones for her. She was doing some sort of project where she needed some mancala games. I agreed to, but she told me to wait and never did ask me to make them. My wife and I have been playing backgammon almost every day for about a year. I have thought about making backgammon checkers for us, but haven't gotten around to doing that project quite yet. Enjoy your games with your grandchildren. We love games here too.

I’ve only been polishing rocks for a month but we have always enjoyed going to the Lake Michigan beaches for the last 35 years or so and picking up pretty stones and rocks. We’ve got this big pretty pinkish rock sitting on the floor in our living room under one of the end tables. My wife has some crystal vases filled with stones in various rooms in the house and we have used the bigger ones for landscaping around the flower beds and pool. And now I’m building my polished rock collection. It’s a great hobby for the winter. Dave

I have loved rocks since I was a kid living by Lake Michigan. Came across your video by accident. Loved your collection. I will have to watch what you do. We used to always look for pretty "stones or pebbles" as we called them while playing in the lake where they were already all smooth by nature. I believe we spent more time looking for them than playing in the water! Wish I had them now as I grew-up appreciating them more and more. I have been to Lake Superior also but was afraid to keep any of them as nowadays, I didn't think you could take anything from the State Parks? Do you know the true answer to that? It was just at a little hotel on the shores of Superior where guests were burning driftwood! I was in horror seeing this as I am sure you know how much a small branch costs in the stores! The people from the hotel told me so much washes ashore and that I could take what I wanted, but I didn't as I thought with my luck I would get caught in another state that didn't allow it to be taken!

Michigan Rocks I have only been in one part of the store/warehouse, but all the rocks are in separate bins and you just go in the rock room by yourself and pick through the bins. You can pick and choose which ones you want. I’m sure they must have a pretty healthy back up supply in the warehouses.

I've tried not to overdo it with rocks around the house. I have often thought that a bathroom floor made of slabs would look pretty cool.

Thanks for the tour of your lovely home ... that was an unexpected treat ... I would love to see the back yard under snow. lol Been thinking about that most of the winter.

@MichiganRocks 4 года назад

I wish there was a way to share pictures here in the comments. My back yard is beautiful with a fresh snow.

Your home is absolutely beautiful! I love it and the rustic Michigan appeal. Those two larger Petoskey stones in your tv cabinet are the size of that one I told you an old boyfriend found in a gravel driveway and polished for me 🤗 And a tray of polished rocks you did on the coffee table, great way to display them. I love it!

You have so many beautiful rocks! You should open a shop, if you haven't already. Thanks for directing me to this one!

Magnificent specimens ! I am amazed by the beauty. I collect all things from nature. Don't have many rocks . Thanks so much for sharing!

Time to add some rocks to your nature collection!

@timcarver5492 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing. People ask me all the time what I'm going to do with all the tumbled rocks. I tell them it's about the adventure and the process, and then I offer them a rock. I'm in the middle of a 14 day isolation right now after returning to Canada from 5 weeks in Arizona, but I feel like I just went over to a friends house for a visit. Thanks for the invite !

@MichiganRocks 4 года назад

Are you allowed to isolate yourself on a beach?

@timcarver5492 4 года назад

Yes, I have a great beach for hounding just a 10 minute walk from my house, so I can go there when I need a walk on the beach.

@MichiganRocks 4 года назад

@@timcarver5492 That's good. I got out in my kayak today. I was very isolated and very happy.

Just found your channel and thanks for being really knowledgeable with rock tumbling has helped me alot. I was thinking about using tumbled polished rocks with epoxy and making coffee tables and dining tables and desks with it at some stage

@MichiganRocks Год назад

That would be really cool.

Thank you for answering my question! What an interesting look into your very uncluttered life, sir. My compliments to your housekeeper match my compliments to your extraordinary rock collection, and I love the little turtles you make! You're an artist at heart, it seems. I enjoyed this tour very much 💯

The basement isn't usually as clean as it was in this video. Nancy requires me to keep the upstairs neat and tidy, but gives me a break on the basement.

I’m still very impressed! I thought your basement was pretty darn tidy too!

I just started getting into rock collecting, and I love your videos. Especially since you use MI rocks from Lake Superior. We live in IL, but go up to the U.P. Several times a year. I haven’t tumbled my rocks yet, but I would have a hard time parting with them. I envy your collection, Thank you for the tumbling and identification tutorials!

@MichiganRocks Год назад

I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, Adrianna. I just love the U.P. and Lake Superior, although Lake Huron is pretty great too.

i just got into rocks a couple of weeks ago because i bought some semi precious stones from a craft store and wire wrapped them for jewelry but i thought it would be way cooler to just source my own rocks and stones to wrap! im in chicago though so ive been trying to do some research on what spots outside of the city i should visit to hound for rocks because im sure i wont find anything in the city. i appreciate all the knowledge ive been collecting from this channel, from tumbling to hunting this channel is very informative!

@MichiganRocks Год назад

I'm sorry that I don't have any beach hunting videos from your side of the lake. The closest I have is one near Grand Haven, MI, which is a couple hours from you. You can probably find something closer, though. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AMO69Z0Ljdw.html

I have several fish tanks that I decorated with tumbled rocks and certain lights that highlight the colors. Slabs make for great habitats for specific fish. I wish I had gotten into the hobby in my youth as I lived in several countries growing up. Funny how I'm always eyeballing rocks when I'm out and about regardless of where I am. Thanks for sharing and stay safe

I'm glad to calm you down. Whenever someone says that though, I hear, "This guy is really boring". Several people have told me that they watch my videos and fall asleep. I think it's usually the sound of the waves, but I always wonder.

@happycamper4thewin 4 года назад

Michigan Rocks : you are never boring! I get engrossed in your videos and forget about the silly things in life that stress me out. I feel the same way when I pray 🙏. I am really looking forward to the warmer weather and seeing what beautiful rocks you find as you take us with you on your adventures. Have a blessed day!
