The saw keeps running when I'm out cabbing! I thought I'd post pictures of these still on the blocks. I use gorilla glue and it works amazing! Warm water and a little pry with a screwdriver....lets you get the remainder end cut off the wood. Laguna's of course! Awesome Dryhead! Thanks for Looking! Steve

I just started using blocks with the glue. It sure makes cutting more enjoyeable and you can really get the most out of the rock. The glue only has to dry overnight too....so there isn't much prep time. It's just deciding which rock gets to be cut first. Steve

Sweet cuts Steve. I hate gorilla glue, used it to fix a broken chair leg once and it kept coming out the cracks like a foam explosion. Looked exactly like your pic but your pic gives reason to maybe like it again. lol

Beautiful cuts Steve!
Have you tried gluing any half nodules that had already been cut or Pre-Oiled so to speak? Or does the glue stick to rocks that have had oil on them already? I've got a bunch like that and wasn't sure if I need to prep them a bit.

Hadn't heard of gluing the rock to wood before. I'm going to have to try that one. Some really nice cuts there but dryhead steals the show.

Oh my those are pretty, it almost makes me want to wade through the 7 inches of snow to the garage to the bucket of lagunas and the saw. (and maybe not) I'll just enjoy looking at everyones awesome rocks. Donna

Steve, those are so pretty and I really love that first one! I would never have thought of using gorilla glue. How do you remove it after? Fran
