Howdy All- During the course of hopping around the shop today, I caught myself staring at the jiggle pan a bit too long. I realized that even though I had 4 machines running I still wasn't busy enough? That's when I decided that some photos might be fun. So follow me on my rounds, chasing the Shine and my tail too... Mesmerized by the jiggle pan- Let's head on over to the main shop and check on the slab saw. Watch your step... There's my Gal! Some kinda lacy agate. Here's one of my favorite toys- a 6" Frantom combo unit, on which I was slicing some coral earlier- A couple other views-- Sanding & Polish area Another project My neighbor just returned a tumbler I lent her, so I got that up and running today also. Finally, a couple more views of my sanctuary. I sure hope Y'all enjoyed the little tour of my operation. If nothing else, it keeps me busy! Thanks for lookin'!

Very cool. You ever worry about any of that equipment or rocks walking away?

my wife has been urging me to take my rocks and leave........I think she would approve of that tent as long as it WASN'T in her backyard!

No worries of theft here capt. bob- private 10mph road, steep on a mountainside, my 1/4acre compound fenced and gated- only thieves around are deer and wild turkey, and the occasional Bear or mountain lion. Chuck- there's a reason you never saw a tarp lapdary shed before- I'm on my 3rd summer w/ this costco garage, and it's no longer weather proof. I need to replace the whole deal soon. Transient that I am, this will be the 1st one I wore out, or perhaps i should blame global warming, I've left 2 others behind, they don't always re-up so well, it's just easier getting a new one. Another positive- I get to remodel the shop every 2-3 yrs.
