I about peed myself with joy when I heard the FedEx truck pull up outside of my house - I knew it was my Covington. I have had the RH bug my whole life, and to finally be equipped with the machinery to show what I see, words cannot express the joy I feel.

Very happy for you getting the joy of a lifetime and not peeing yourself. I am sure you will have a ton of fun and creativity with that. Jim

As you pursue this hobby, you'll become more like the old timers and actually pee yourself a little more each time....

All right, enough text. We live on photos. I know it, me too! I love looking at all the artistic talent this board represents! My husband is building a sturdy bench for me, so my poor baby is still shiny and on the ground I will photograph her on her new pedestal when he finishes (hopefully this month, hah!). I know it's a girl because she's beautiful AND powerful, what should I call her...

Glad to hear you will be joining us soon! My cabbing machine sat in the box for a month before I got the nerve to actually use it (after much reading here and in the manual) Now, it is second nature to just go and do something on it. You are going to have TONS of fun! Fran

My covington is still on the ground, and it's driving me nuts! I could have been busy this whole weekend, but my husband hasn't finished the table yet...

I can't believe it, but it's almost done! We have it up on the table, it just needs a few things and then!

Woohoo! Congrats I have that same saw in 10" by itself without the cabbing unit and absolutely love it. Wasn't too thrilled with the gravity feed so I ripped it all off and just use it as a push through for trimming slabs and small nodules etc. Enjoy and can't wait to see some results

I like that Radio but Envy isn't a good feeling. I think I'll follow your line of thinking and go with the color, what about Jade?

GeorgeStone - you have some beautiful rough for sale, it's too bad you are all the way in Hungary, I'm sure us US rockhound would hunger for your rough!!!
