Howdy folks, Well, tried out the new wheels on the Genie today and OMG what a difference in cutting speed! I can't believe I just left them in the drawer for about 10 years. Well, I guess I kinda can since it took me most of a freaking day to get the old ones off and the new ones installed. Anywho, it took me like a tenth the time it's been taking me with the new wheels. Here are a couple I finished on the wheels today plus I added two more corkers to the vibe batch. Again, sorry for the crappy pics. I've got to ge me a light box setup one of these days and a nice fancy background like some of you other folks. Thanks for looking.....Mel Woodward Ranch Peanut Agate. Self collected and it seems anytime I go I only find one or two of these which pisses me off because, even though they're mixed hardness and hard to work up, I flat love them. This ones a 38 X 52 MM And, a little lavender Laguna about 1 3/4 inch long. I'd usually do these in the vibe but the ones with crystal pockets just trap too much grit and mess a batch up.

LOL! Those are so pretty - When I looked at the picture of the Woodward, I thought I was looking at a tray full of cutup geode halves, but then when I read the caption, I realized it was a really beautiful cab! No wonder I can't shine anything - I can't see! Tom PS - you do good rocks!

Yipee Mel, that peanut agate is something else, and love the druzy laguna! I am glad you got your wheels changed, now we will be seeing lots more of your stellar materials! Amber
