Hi cigarboxrock - can we at least know your first name? haha. With all due respect, we are a community - a family if you will - and what we're always looking for and encouraging are new members who will jump in and help us with the greater good which is to grow the hobby and encourage newcomers and help them with learn and grow. Along the way we have a lot of fun with rockhounding outings and get togethers - many here are personal friends. My point is you've had four posts so far and all four of them appear to be written solely to drive business to your website and company. We're not the right place for that - but as my first paragraph alluded to, we'd love to get to know you as a hobbyist first, business owner and advertiser a distant second. Thanks for understanding, Tommy

TOMMY ~ I can see your point and I appreciate your note. My intention is not as much sales as to offer help to our fellow rock hounds that have challenges with vintage lapidary equipment. I and my shop supervisor devote phone time each day with complimentary assistance with restoration projects. It is fun sharing information that may solve a problem. We often use equipment pictures to explain what we are talking about. Our website is a host to a vast library of vintage cataloged, photographed equipment and parts. We hope that is ok that we occasionally reference these photos. We truly just want to participate in your fine community. Warm Regards, Tim Tim - Owner Matthew - Shop Foreman Ben - Webmaster

Welcome from Virginia! I have an older saw I may need help with in the spring. I'll keep you in mind when I get ready to work on it. Thanks for the offer of help- very generous.

I know you guys were highly recommended by one of our members - we have a lot of members here who love to fix and refurbish old machines. We can use all the help we can get in the knowledge department. Do you make house calls? ... to California?

I send people to your resource library regularly. My HP trim saw is in your 1946/47 catalog. Hope to stop in and say hi some time, have friends in Bend.
