My friend had about 20 of em he brought by the barbershop today, I'll just get him to bring me some more, must say the belt sander makes life easy on this though, just picked one up today
Was excited about it, had it finished, wet it then saw the fracture, then tried the other side, and catastrophic failure lol

Thanked: 4827around here the surface shale is usually quite badly fractures. It seem to me that if you go back a little ways past the surface there should be more stable rock. That is however just a theory. I never use a belt sander because the rock I've been getting is too hard for that. I have poked at the wet sanders a few times. That would lap hones in no time.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

This stuff is very soft, and you cant really feel the grit of the slurry between your fingers even. Belt sander works great on it, otherwise it woulda taken much longer to figure out it was going to fail

Thanked: 375DO you guys think Flagstone would work? I have a whole patio made of blue, and red....
Found info that says it's composed of silica, calcite, or iron oxide. I know nothing about rocks but this has peaked my interest, and actually sound s like a good reason to get out side, it could be funCHRIS
