Thread: Found this rock in a pile of rocks.

I would use a belt sander, test a small area, if its worth it then proceed to the next stage!

can we get a close up pic of the slurry ?

To cut and smooth something like that you really need some serious tools. See if there is a rock club nearby. Someone there will have power grinders, saws and polishers to do the job.

I sure do admire the spirit and determination of anyone who would take that on.......though I might question other areas of their psychological foundation. Which is my attempt at being polite while asking "Hey buddy, what the hell are you doing to that rock?"

Yea i use it so far to grind rust of the sides of stuff.
it's a awesome find. It's sweet how fast the slurry changes
to a red color when grinding a rusty peice of steel.
It's clearly no finishing stone but it's a good stone with
alot of cut to it. To use on my chef knives before going to a finer grit.
Bummer it not course enough to grind bad nicks out of old axes.
Where can i find a stone that big for my axes that natural and for getting nicks out.

If it will fit in a flat rate box I can do it with my lapper for you free, it would take a few hours..

IT's getting less and less pitted.
and it's getting closer to being flat.
I ben rubbing it with another rock
from a pile of rocks.
Grinding rusty peices of metal on it so cool.
how it make the slurry look.

This might sound ridiculous but tie that thing to the back of your car and drive a few miles down a deserted road.

Just don't tell anyone what your doing, tell them it's a grave stone for your dead dog.
People will lock you away if they know what your really doing,,,,,,,,,........!!!!!!!!

The people i work with
keep saying stuff like he gots rocks in
his head.
It be really hard to flatten the rocks
i found that are not flat any where on them.
