Wow, that is really some operation you two have going there. Wish I had a set up with saws and grinders. Ah well, I'll do have my tumblers and I do enjoy them.

Cool shop! It's amazing you packed all that equipment and rocks into there. I bet it's a busy place when you and Donna are in there. Steve

Steve, you ain't seen nothing yet. You should see the garage (24 x 36) that is full of rocks with just paths to get through. Also an old cafe building that is 3 12 x 12 rooms that is also full of rock specimens. Will have to take pictures of it sometime.

Photo #3 - I love how rock hounds push the envelope of structural integrity. A few more slabs on thayt shelf and you could find yourself working in a rock fall zone.

So, that's where those beautiful knives are "born"! What is the machine? under the shelves in the 3rd pic? Thank you very much for sharing, I gotta show these pics to Ina when she says I have to many rocks. Oh, and I think grammar rules should be changed a bit when it comes to rockhounds' collections: instead of "how many rocks" it would be more appropriate "how much rocks". Anybody claiming his/her rocks are still "countable"? ;D Adrian

Adrian, it is a 10" trim saw. Will cut 90 degrees to 3". And the grammar is........hers, my little bit, the rest hers. Ken

Adrian, my rocks are still countable, although it might take me a few months to count them...;-)
Great shop pics.
