This is my first time using a forum. I am an old dinosaur who started in this hobby only after I retired at about 70 years old. I don't do much rockhounding but am getting back to cutting rocks -- my favorite pastime. Before Covid I used a lapidary shop at an adult center far from my house. However that dropped off and I stopped for a while. I am wanting to get back to this and have lots of non-working equipment at my house. Need to find someone to help me get it in order. Meantime need to find time to go to adult center. I love the rocks and I have plenty but still collect some from various sales. I am glad that they can sit outside without damage. More room to expand. I find cutting cabs very creative as no two rocks have the same patterns. I love reading the posts with all of the information shared. Thank you for this forum.

Welcome from Central California. Rockjunquie beat me to it. I was thinking exactly what she stated as I read your post. There's a wealth of knowledge here with old machinery.
