Ok I know I have posted too many of these. Heck even I am getting a little wore out. I think this is the last of the Fordites for awhile. I was not even going to post them here but I already had the photos for Etsy so it did not take too much extra effort to show them here too.      And the best for last. This one made all the work worth it.  Thanks for looking Chuck |

Nice! Love the tight clean look of them. Thanks for sharing them, Chuck. Never get tired of looking at them.
Wish I had 1/10 the energy that you do! Jean

We need to get you some other mixes of Fordite. That would liven your desires.
Dito Jean, keep posting, that Fordite is really amazing.

All of these and four others I posted last week all came from one large piece of rough. Lots of variety between each different piece of rough but when making 10 or 12 from one piece the colors will be similar. Still have a good stockpile so it will be awhile before I get any new stuff.

We need to get some reject paint, sprayer and infared light. 2 grams for $30 and there are 453 grams per pound. Big money in that there paint. The estate I bought a couple weeks ago had what I think is a very old piece of Fordite and might be about a half pound. The paint was attached to a wooden rack not metal. New stuff on top. piece from estate sale on bottom   Chuck |

Let's sneak in to an assembly plant during Christmas. I'll stand watch.
A new Porsche, BMW and Hyundai plant just put in here.
Bet the Porsche paint is some high dollar stuff.
You have a gold mine in that last photo.

You have a gold mine in that last photo. Really really itching to cut and cab that old piece but it may hold more value as is. Might save it for a rainy day. I wish I knew the history behind it but the family of the estate sale had no clue. Chuck |

You cut it Chuck, no question. That's what you are into. Not concerned, that slab will not go uncut |
