Howdy carvers! I am considering purchasing an implement for engraving stone and have been eyeballing the Fordom SR Motor with flex shaft...the specs are 1/6hp ball bearing 18,000rpm. SR motor has a switch for forward or reverse direction (maximum speed is 18,000rpm.). I will be doing a lot of work and wanted to pose this question to the group: Which engraving tool will take the most, longest use - Foredom or Thanks in advance for your input Miya

That is quite the way to reel a girl in! How did you remove the matrix?

I agree with you. To post a picture from an iPhone to FB, it takes two finger presses. To post on the forum, you have to save pictures to photobucket, get the link and then share. I wish the forum could make it easier to share photos

I live in Albuquerque.... what kind of rocks you looking to collect? that way I'll know better where to direct you. Hi Phil, thanks for the help! I am flying into Albuquerque and then driving on to Taos. I will be traveling with my family which includes 2 ten year old girls and an eight year old girl, so any collecting I will be able to do then will be limited to surface finds. After we settle in Taos, I will have a day to do some serious hounding. As far as types of rocks, I love them all! I am partial to plumes and moss agates, but I really am not picky. The most important thing to me is not having to drive to far and not needing a 4wd...Thanks for any suggestions!!!
