The fun has begun! Very cool 
I put down a piece of rubber mat in the "catch tray" on the chance that a slab could break falling off a cut. Whether it's needed I dunno, but gives me peace of mind and it's quieter when a slab falls off! Used a mat like this, but most anything should work.
This is probably nothing you don't know...
Don't forget that the mist from the mineral oil can cause some lung problems (that I can't spell!) but not as bad as most of the other stuff people use... It's actually (health wise) probably your best option!
After a cut I let keep the lid closed for a couple minutes to let the oil drip down and then when I open the lid, I vacate the area for a couple minutes while the mist settles. Looks like it's in your garage, throw a bottle of baby oil in the mix if anyone complains about the smell
I haven't had my saw long enough yet to learn whether the oil mist will coat everything around the saw, but it's something to consider.
Great looking slabs! Looks like a nice machine in the background too! Thanks for sharing pictures.
