Thank you all for the kind comments, that belt sander is rapidly becoming one of my favorite tools. )t'
I am considering the saying time is money. One of the insets could be filled with old spanish coins and notes but made to look like its been in there for years. The other side could be filled with old pocket and wrist watches.
I want something a bit less pradictble than stones etc. Something that make people say wow what a good idea. :-D

get hold of a glass saw and cut wine bottles in half lenghthways and mount them, or you could just chop the bottom off the bottles and stick them in.
