    I would like to add my tcw to this thread. Although Sinkankas' book
    is a great resource for faceting and cabbing I have found a huge
    amount of info explained just ever so slightly differently in
    Christopher E Hyde and Richard A Matthews' The Complete Book of Rock
    Tumbling. This book has been invaluable to me as I have taught
    myself to cut, grind, create performs for tumbled finish and hand
    finishing, created pounds of hand broken tumble loads and so on. They
    do a wonderful job of thoroughly explaining processes, gives all
    kinds of technical and machine info, almost as good as Krey T's
    website! This book even takes you into the finish work of what kinds
    of settings and uses for your finished rock and the basic steps to
    creating them. For newbie's in lapidary work or for someone just
    adding that as a part of the whole jewelry making process this book
    would serve you well. I found mine for cheap on eBay but even new it
    would be worth the investment. Cori in Wisconsin where the rocks are
    still frozen to the ground!
