what do I need to do to carve words on rocks?
I just got a rock tumbler and love the rocks that have one word carved on them and would like to learn this craft.
you cant use a tumbler on a rock you want to carve words into. to carve words into a rock get a sandblaster. they shoot sand at high speed at a rock to make an image. use a stencil and cut the stencil so that where you want the letters the rock is exposed find mor info at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandblasted
the sandblaster i am talking about is much smaller scale than the article. you cold probably buy it online or at Lowe’s or Home Depot
