I forgot to mention that they used to clad wooden ships with copper to keep barnacles from attaching. Up until recently they used to use paint with copper in it for the same reason. Chuck Okay, I'm suing the government for making all those pennies I've been pinching out of copper
And I'm ripping all the copper pipe out of my house asap...
On the serious side, I think we have to take care when grinding and polishing but I would think the cabs and jewelry are safe to wear.
I wouldn't want to speak for all potential buyers and whether they have sensitivities to copper or copper sulfate. After all, doesn't that drive a lot of people to buy argentium jewelry? The references to ships were just for historical interest.

Copper sulfate is also sold as a root killer to kill plants that are clogging sewer pipes. Dump a cup down the toilet and flush.
Now I'm thinking potential buyers may not want to wear copper-containing cabs next to their skin.

Would love to see a bigger photo of the 4th one!

I agree the wraps are really nice. I love the way the simplicity showcases the stones.
We Chucks think alike, I guess. I had the same questions as Drummond Island Chuck: What's holding the stone in the 2nd one? My first thought was groove wrap, but there's too much wire showing. Then I went to a wide wire rolled over the edges.

I've had the same thing happen when I've over filled the bucket, but haven't worried about it since it's a wet/dry vac.

One thing to be sure to check is the arbor size. Some of the less expensive tile saws use an odd arbor size and it's hard to find blades that fit.

Right, the site doesn't allow direct upload, but you can use photobucket or other photo sharing sites and do as Don says.

Nice Darryl! Is that one of your finds, or did that come from rockncajun like the others?
What do you use for a light source and how careful are you regarding exposure?
Thanks! Chuck

It's amazing art. So good, in fact, that this is at least the second thread to feature it! :-)

Neither side has to extend very far into the bucket at all (it's not a bong). The weight of the snot will drop it to the bottom of the bucket. I think my dirty side goes about 3" into the bucket and the clean side about an inch, just to make sure I don't draw oil directly across. With the clean side close to the bucket lid you're also less likely to run into trouble with a full bucket.

The stones are great of course, but I want to know where to get the blanks! Most of the ones I've found look cheap.
Oops! Nevermind. Found Eloxite and Kingsley North in another thread.

I've got my share of ice stories. There was the time when I was a teenager driving my dad's pickup home from visiting my parents. We were on a two lane road with steep ditches on either side. My dad had me drive because he didn't want to!
Then there was the time when my newlywed and I were driving on the interstate and I couldn't figure out why everyone was going so slowly; it didn't seem that icy. Then I figured out that it was icier than I thought. I took my foot off the gas and my car started to fishtail. I'd gently correct for the skid but then it would start to skid the other way, but worse. My wife and I started telling each other how much we loved each other when we finally did a 180 through the median, across the two oncoming lanes, between cars, and ended up in the grass between the freeway and an off ramp. I drove off the interstate onto a 2 lane highway and drove about 5 mph the rest of the way, shaken but not stirred.

We get ridiculed for being idiots when there is snow/sleet. Probably some are. Well, when it's such a relatively rare occurrence, it doesn't make sense to invest a lot of money in snow equipment. I don't think there's any good way to deal with ice, except to wait for warmer weather. I think in terms of being idiotic, it's just a lack of experience that makes people underestimate how dangerous that weather can be and how cautious you have to be driving. I'll never forget driving through Atlanta one night after a coating of ice. Most people wisely stayed off the roads and we were driving down 85 at about 40 miles an hour. Somebody flew by going at least 60. Sure enough, they were in the ditch a mile down the road. Chuck

Hope you have a generator, James!
I lived in Atlanta for a few years and remember the ice storms, although this one sounds like a doozy. Spent several hours at the northern GA border one year Easter waiting for 75 to open after a big snowstorm.
We get plenty of snow here, but ice storms are rare. Snow is easier to deal with.
