Got a box of slabs from Tom/Connrock the other day. I don't think the boy gets enough praise for the stuff he does. At least not enough to swell up his head enough to fit that awful hat he sports about. From sending me a breathing unit, when I complained about the mineral oil in my saw effecting my COPD, to helping me learn the frustrating ins and outs for silver work, the dude has been most generous with his time and rocks as well. Thanks, man, you are one of a kind!! Thankgoodness  Tony |

I agree Tony!!!!!! I have never met Tom in person but... when I first got into this hobby it was Tom who walked me through all of the baby steps to get that perfect shine. He explained things to me in pm's and that knowledge I still refer back to every day. He's the reason I bought my Lot-O and became completely obsessed with rocks. Indirectly, because of the success he helped me achieve in tumbling, he is one of the reasons I expanded my hobby into other areas. Also, I can't count how many times I've had friends here tell me, "Well, if it hadn't been for Tom.........". He's a remarkable guy! THANKS FOR BEING YOU TOM!!!!!!

I'd like to join the "Tom party" too! Like Krystee, he walked me through the Lot-O (to say nothing about the little nudges on the way to get one). He shared his tips and secrets of tumbling with me even during the competition. He also write and plays great music, seems to be able to do anything with metal and rocks, and has a heart of gold and agate.
My dog is named after his--need I say more?
