All, I got a MASSIVE treat from Ed - totally unexpected a box arrived and its full of rocks and cabs and an amazing letter! What can I say except as big a thankyou as is humanely possible. THANKYOU Ed. Now for some pics. These here are my very own chunks of the woodward ranch event. So now I can put some pics up of rocks from there aswell Next are (as Ed has kindly described for me) Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper found nearby where Ed lives. Next up is a pouch with some fabulous cabs inside!! They can go on the fireplace. I know ive been promising myself to get the tumblers going again soon - and I will as also theres various rocks from people here that are in different stages of barrels and not yet polished. But my garage is a complete mess and badly in need of sorting out. (Actually started this weekend but not nearly done yet). So when its tidied up I can get all these and others going again. A big thanks again Ed - Im looking forward to getting them going and will post pics when up and running. Thanks again. Mark

yup Mark....Ed is a great guy and gives so freely with his talents and material. I don't feel so bad about my work area now. Knowing I am not the only one sure helps. I've been wanting to get in there and clean my shop for a long time now but all the other projects just seem to get in the way. Have fun with your goodies......maybe you can collect some Woodward Ranch rocks next year in person.

First- congrates on the rocks- second- if you set that bench grinder on the floor next to the fodable work stand- then you will have enough room for a tumbler!!! see that was a lot easier than cleaning up the garage huh??? (says the man who has to dig a path to his garage door!)

Phew! I wasn't sure it the box had made it across the Pond, but I guess it did, and everything looks like it made it in one piece too! Enjoy the rocks and the cabs Mark. It's like I said, if it weren't for you giving us this great place on the internet, there wouldn't have been a Woodward Ranch Blitz. You've changed everyone of ours lives by starting this board and I just wanted to say thank you. Oh, there's nothing wrong with your garage, mine looks almost just like that and I still work in it!

Great looking box of rocks, and cabs too! Don't feel bad about your garage. Mine looks about like that too, except that there is a fine layer of mineral oil coating everything from the slab saw. I still shuffle through everything to a little spot cleared out in front of my lapidary setup. You have inspired me to clean it up. Steve

Hey, there is no room for the car lol. My car and van sit outside my garage. I only keep the really important stuff in the garage. . Nice looking cabs.
