Father in-law pass away about year ago, his children were going thro his stuff to see what they wanted to keep and get rid of. Father in-law interduce me to his rock collection about 25 years ago. He had all different kinds. Well, no one wanted his rock cutting, grinding, polishing, and one other piece. They were going to sell it at a yard sale for what ever they could get for it, just to get rid of it. I ask my husband Mike if I could have it, since dad you to cut rock for me to make what he thought was silly, was fairy house for gardens. Mike ask his siblings and they say sure, she could have it all. So home I go with 4 or 5 pices of rock machine and lots of rocks. Father in-law has several pices of rocks cut in thin slices for belt buckes or bolo ties. They are beautiful, but what Im wanting to do with these rocks is incorparate them in to a glass lamp shade im making for my lamps which are due for new lamp shades. I think after 30 years I should replace the lamp shades. I wanted glass lamp shades and after finding out the cost of them, I look in to a class on making my own. The glass instructer was very incurageing and thought adding dad slice rocks into the shade would look beautiful. So that is what Im going to do.
The only thing I know nothing about the make of Frantom or where to buy materal or the polishing wheel, or any kind of equipment for these machine.
Could some help me in letting know where I can find replacement parts.
Thank you for your time.
Terry
