Through my Etsy shop, I have recently introduced someone to the world of rocks. So here's the need:
Her son wants to do the hounding and cabbing, and she wants to make jewelry from cabs...... She is retired, and I assume can't spend a lot on equipment, and has no idea what-so-ever what to get. I am going to turn her on to the WF saw, for slabbing their own rocks. She has asked me to help her find what she needs for cabbing equipment, and since I know not a lot about what's what, I need some help too.
What should I recommend, and does anyone have anything they would like to get rid of? As they don't know anything about this, would like to turn her on to a good deal, on something used,something complete, and inexpensive enough they can afford to buy it. I do not know what her budget is....almost feel it's rude to ask her, so want to get some really good ideas from those here on the board. When I go back home in a few months, I will be teaching them what to look for in rocks.....from what little knowledge I have.
Ok.....think thats it....I appreciate any and all help I can get to help them with getting involved in our little world!
Thanks, Marie

Wish I could help you. I just gave a 10" saw to a friend who is also on a limited budget, and just getting started. Hope you have good luck getting your friend set up. Don
