I had a blast this morning at the rock club this morning. They have 3 Genie units 3 small flat laps, a couple of trim saws and a cloth buffer. I worked last night and went straight to the club from McDonalds  . I finished 4 peices that I had pre cut into rough shapes, what a time saver that was! 2 Jasper cabs one Carnelian and a Mohagony Obsidian. I love each of them, there's a couple of scratchy spots on the edges of the Carnelian and the pie shaped Jasper.Thanks for looking!    Peace, SSSSpaceman SSSpliff |

Is that your first try? That's great work! Are you getting hooked on it?

Another one bites the dust! It sure is fun, isn't it? You did a great job on those. I see a grinder in your future.

I certainly am hooked, if anyone can not afford a grinder unit then don't even torture yourself with "trying one out" ! A unit is too expencive for sure I have a family to raise , but maybe a grinder and some wheels but if I could not go from start to finish I would just get frusterated. But dam I'm frusterated now that the club only has workshops once a month for a couple of hours. I wanna make more! Ah I'll just sit back and wit till I win the lotto, should be any day now. Thanks for the comments everyone, you all ROCK! Peace, SSSSpaceman SSSpliff |

~vision of the Spaceman being arrested for breaking and entering... "but I'm not stealing anything, I'm only using the grinder!! Who else breaks into a place carrying 5 lbs of stones?"

Patience- If you want a grinder- just work on figuring out how to achieve that- I did- It took a while but it was worth it-
