I don't know how many of you had read that my 6" saw arbor/shaft went kaputt on me; but Kev pm'd me and said he'd gladly fix it. I got it back yesterday. Let me say...I was sooo excited to get it back and couldn't wait to fire it up. It was like night and day; like going from a Kia to a Rolls Royce. The saw ran so smoothly, and it didn't keep my neighbors up all night. I gotta publicly tell Kev; THANKS!!! So..here's a few I did yesterday evening & throughout the night..in Kev's honor! ;D
the whole lot...
some sort of Dendritic Agate from Utah(bugger to polish and pitty)
Biggs Jasper, (gotta repolish this one), a nice moss agate from Rockhobbit, purple unknown, and piece of Laguna with moss??

Close-ups of a couple. Love this little moss or whatever it is. I love the little blue cottonballs in the upper right corner

I love this one..although I'm not a huge purple guy. I had to reshape the bottom as it had a fracture and it broke. I reiceved the slab from a guy in Utah.

Thanks for looking. I'm gonna try to get a few more finished today. It will be the last time I get to play with rocks until I get back home around the 12th.

The purple one looks like a buzzard if you tilt your head.

I love the purple one. It could be Charoite. The older stuff had a bit of a pink undertone in parts of the purple and had some darker purple areas. If the eye looking thing is chatoyant than I would guess it is. I like the Biggs too. Great job on all. Way to go Kev!

Looks like the purple one wins the blue ribbon! I just backed off from the magic box, and it watched me no matter where I went in the office! Woody

I really like the two brownish ones in the first photo. What Kev did is one of the reasons that RTH keeps going strong; people helping people. Nice. Don

Great cabs! I like very much each of them but mostly the purple one, and I also have a sugestion: in order to hide better the accidental fracture, you could fillet (round) the bottom end in the same manner as the top end.

WTG Kev!

Rocks choose their owners, but they allow us the joy of believing to the contrary.
